Your 2020 W560 was on a lease, right? And you bought an ELW from the dealer? So it sounds like your lease term was longer then the manufacturer warranty?? Just trying to put the pieces together. Regardless of the particulars, I'm glad you were under warranty when this went bad.
I bought it because I considered keeping it, otherwise I never would have let it go out of warranty before trading it in. Lease was 48 months

Thanks for the clarification. I forgot you had a 48 month lease, I've only ever leased on a standard 3-year term, and never with MB. Thanks!

I did my plugs at 50k, no oil.
I checked again last week now at 80k, no oil.
Mine was made 11/18
what year and month was your car made?
Check the door sticker on driver side door.

I no longer have the car, but if I remember it was built in early 2020. I bought it in November of 2020.

I had this job done this week, took 4 days with $510 labour cost. Gasket comes as a silicon tube and at the same time replaced many minor seals:
1. Vacuum pump gasket
2. Expansion plugs.
3. Fuel high pressure pump o rings.
4. Vvt solenoid o rings.
i was having a minor leak in spark plug area cylinder #2. Car millage 71k

yes, indeed it is an independent workshop specialised in European cars. I did both sides as a precaution, I was afraid that this leak damage my double head coil.
