PFL205.064 with M276.823 (Oil pump solenoid defeated)
Agree.
OP, dealerships usually scare people with a diagnostic fee (mostly because then they don't have to fix your issue if you don't agree and there is no clear sign that it is a defect by just a visual or computer inspection (ie. no codes), this is especially common since they are short staffed) but if you know that you didn't damage it yourself by any means then warranty should cover it. Once they actually do the diagnostic and determined that it is a warranty issue, the warranty will cover the diagnostic fee as well.

Are you still within the factory new car warranty? If so, it should absolutely be covered. This “not sure it will be covered” business is absolutely nonsense and a waste of your time.
Take it to another MB dealership if possible.

Basically the dealer just doesn't want to mess with it...
