Another reminder, for those who use a shop to do their work, not all of them use factory M-B parts. You may wish to have a chat with the mechanic on the subject of where he buys parts. If a shop-repaired part fails, at least the shop will (should) make good on their warranty but you are still stuck with having your car gone again for a few days.
