Lucky for me, my car was born in the US. I will be visiting a US dealership to have the whole thing changed out. I didn't even bother with Canada. How did you sell them on replacing anything?

Took quite a bit of pressure.
I had all the documents printed out, went it to request warranty work.. but was told this was only covered by MBUSA....

Asked to speak to Service Manager, who told me MBUSA and MB Canada are two different entities, etc, etc.... After some conversation I asked him to call corporate and within two minutes the answer was 'YES'

Very lucky bro
Most likely done under good will from MBCanada not because of the warranty extension, that's the reason only pumps and senders were done. If they fail again they will not fix free of charge again unfortunately

Congrats on getting it fixed. Sounds like you had a really helpful dealership, as I had massive issues getting my USA E55 fixed here in the states.

I want to know the same. The basket with both fuel pumps looks pretty big. Do they really fit in that small opening behind the seat?

I'm guessing the baskets detach and then you fit one in at a time??

Great job btw you scored! Hopefully others will too that are out of the US.

I dunno, those things look like a pain in the ***. It looks like it comes all assembled I doubt they would make you take it all apart. Right??

I may have to do this job myself so Im trying to make sure.

Just thought I'd report back....

Car is running real strong. Definitely picked up some power with the new pumps, fresh filter. Feels like an extra 50hp.......

Pulley goes in next week too... going to be a monster.

I have this exact problem - but in a 2009 W204 C class. Fuel smell from the drivers side rear seat/wheel well area. Different car, same issue.
