Thanks. We are not going to worry about it. We are really not experts in this area and which is why we paid the mechanic (supposedly a Mercedes tech) $600 to fix it. We are not even going to bother checking this and that for ourselves.

Now he (the so called Mercedes mechanic) wants another $300 to work on it again. Its not worth it, I only paid $2000 for the entire car 3 years ago. We will just fill it up with fuel every 2 or 3 days like we have been doing for the past 2 years. Very agitating, especially once you have paid a mechanic alot of money to repair it. He said maybe a mouse has chewed up a wire and he would have to search and charge another $300.

Good and reliable mechanics (especially for German cars) are very difficult to find around here.

Hopefully dads retirement will come in very soon and she can get that brand new Buick she wants.

ROB, yeah all of the other gauges there (oil and temperature) are working perfectly. The low fuel light also comes on, but not before it runs out of gas.
