I agree.

I called Beckmann. Steve at Beckmann's advised t get the DTC scanned by someone who has the mercedes scanner. He gave me three shops that they have dealt with in my area.

I called one of the shops. They claim to have the diagnostic scanner (Starr?)used by MB dealers. And they will go to Beckmann for a rebuilt if needed.

Thanks for your generousity in responding, it is appreciated.

BTW, I'm really tired of all the things that have gone wrong with this car since I purchased it 2 years ago. It only has 77K miles and it is a bear to maintain. Love the car and the ride (and the luxury).

Oh well, if you got to question the cost of maintenance, it's the wrong car.
