Benzmac,

I hope the mechanic is good too. It's at the dealer still. I have no idea who the technician is.

From what I was told, the procedure for fitting all the bits together involves precise temps and what not...

No, it's not a lemon, but it's a little disheartening to have to deal with these sort of problems when the car is barely 2 years old and under 30K....

cheers!
