I don't know, but what I do hope is that the OP is treated right by MB NA over this.

I'm VERY sorry! Didn't mean to offend you both and have edited the original post.
I've actually communicated with you both in the past: RajwanyS550 - about recommending a dealership, and ahmadkshuja about my wheel sale.
I can't take my words back but for what it's worth - I used the analogy as a figure of speech.....
A very good friend of mine is Muslim.

I could not believe that you actually meant anything bad or negative. All is well. I care about this community because I hang-out around here a lot

On the technical side, I thought the road side assistance people had detected water in the engine bay fuel filter/water separator but it looks like this only exists on diesel engines (one of the few things I can brag over the V12 guys
). So it remains a mystery to me where did they figure out the water in the engine bay and how much exactly was "tons of water"? Perhaps they just looked at the cooling water reservoir.

Actually, I'm a big fan of the latest diesel engines. I can't wait for the V8s to be sold in the US. And the 300,000 miles I put on my '83 300SD with nothing but the rear window regulator crapping out repeatedly was something to brag about for sure.

Now the current 320CDI unit is somewhat underpowered for a big car like the V/W221, but a 3literTT from Merc delivering c.300bhp makes more sense than the V8 diesel which offers no more power but markedly less miles between fills.
