Had the ABC hose recall been done, Mercedes recalled all the CL's for one ABC hose that could leak on the manifold or exhaust and start a fire.

IMO (after looking at your pics), I wouldn't bother trying to fix it. With all the complex electronics (and all your burned wires) this car will never be right again. You will spend a fortune trying to fix it. You could by another one cheaper (in the US anyway- they're VERY reasonable here.

Any idea what caused it? When my previous CL burnt down (before I owned / repaired it) it was the fan speed regulator mounted on the blower motor.
