What is the most you spent on a single repair?
 

What is the most you have ever spent on a single repair for the Benz? It can be parts/labor or any combo.

$2500 to replace the #1 piston on the 86 SDL. Ran the car for 100,000 mileas afte that and was starting to develop low compression on #1 again. I think the previous owner hit the oil pan hard and caused the front seciton of the crank to be slightly out. the #1 piston had indications of oscilating on the bore. But that car is gone.

Rear wheel bearing $900 just labor. Parts extra

$150 for B2 piston,trans filter and fluid...

Oh yeah, another $150 for new windshield that got smashed by a guy with his skateboard after I punched him out when he shoved me at a gas station after a verbal altercation. Lucky I had my young son with me or the fury of it would have likely led me to running him down with the car as he was skating away and going to jail for vehicular homicide...

about 2K to completely rebuild my 617

So far, $650 for oil coolar and lines.

$1200 to rebuild the head on my 190E 2.6 after the timing chain broke. This included new crank bearings and an oil pump.

I also paid $1100 to rebuild the trans on my '86 300SDL. I haven't driven it yeat as the engine still need rebuilding.

$450 to replace the back glass.

Darn kids and their BB guns.

$1,200 for a complete A/C system rebuild on my last 300D.

$800 for a complete A/C system rebuild on my current 300D. I learned alot on this board in the meantime.

$2250 just for the ignition module on the E420, $1600 for a subframe mount, chain, rails, a cam & its lifters on the 420SEL, $1600 (+installation) for a rebuilt 617, and $1100 on the 280SE for a trans rebuild.

Dang it! Now that I see all of the $$ on black and white, I want to hurl.

$1200 for rebuilt transmission, torque converter and vacuum valve.
