You betcha ... I wish the local dealer was worth a darn here ... but its not. My old dealer in Virginia was super ... even lent his bays out and had technicians around on Sundays for MB Club Members ... here in Sarasota you never know what you are going to get from the dealership. I know an old crumudgeon German guy that owns a strickly-MB shop ... I'll take the thing to him and see what he says ...
Does anyone out there have any cheaper possibilities or ideas that can lead me to the culprit turning on the ASR fault message and making the car go into limp home mode? I've put air in the tires and I am replacing the brake light switch. So far only $23 in the hole ...
If I didn't have to cross Aligator Alley with a couple of old ancient ladies in the car I would just see what happens ... but I need to be pro-active. If I break down in the Alley this time of year in this heat ... it'll be tough on my mother and sister. Anyhoo ... guess I need to chase this down some ...
Thanks for all the help so far ... c
