Are you saying an authorized MB dealer installed a used part on your car that you didn't ask them to??
Dealers are not allowed to install used parts, at least not while I worked there (82-99).
If you have an invoice see if they charged for a new part. Would have been around $1200.
What amazes me is they told you the replacement was bad. Don't they check your repair history before giving you a diagnoses?
