Blown Supercharger
The supercharger in my 1999 C230K seized up last month. Puchased the car new, all maintenance at the dealer and now with 98,000 miles. I paid $2,200 for the repair, but last night I remembered the class action regarding the FSS and problems with engine oil sludge. The settlement was for MB to repair any engine failure for up to 10 years or 150,000 miles. Although there have been many complaints about excessive oil consumption with the MLs, it seems to me that a seized supercharger is an oil related engine failure. I will also state that this car was driven exclusively by me and not abused. Do you think this should be covered? Thank you for your opinions.
