I was really worried about getting this fixed under warranty based on previous issues at my dealer but I just got the call. They replaced it under warranty.

I think the key is properly descriping the symptons to the SA and I want to thank some of the forum members for their suggestions.

I never once mentioned the pump when talking with the SA. I spoke only about the symptoms my car was exhibiting and exactly how to duplicat the conditions. I also ran the dog crap out of it on the way there hoping they would test drive it soon after I left while it was still smoking hot.

Can't wait to get it back. It's been slowing down for a month and will be great to have the BEAST back.

 

It's all about the dealer/service dept. Sounds like a nicer one.

You could threaten the lives of some others and they would tell you to get lost.

Be thankful for a cool S/A

 

Amen to that!

I went away from MB for years because of this dealer and only came back for my E55. This pleasant visit was the rare exception.
