My sprinter needed the AEM recall done. Got the same $1500, It isn't going to go very far.I believe it, love my Benz but the maintenance can be ridiculous. They recently gave me a $1500 voucher towards service. I told them to change the oil and service all the filters- including the fuel filter, and replace the battery. It was $1900.
Supposedly there's another $2k due to a class action lawsuit coming, but I'll believe that when I see it.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say I'm going to have a 4-5k bill for the rest of the stuff the van needed. I said no to $2500 to fix the brakes front and rear. I hate paying for glow plugs and oil leaks, but I also don't want to pull the engine back apart
The downside to 'free' recall repairs? They've had my van for 7 weeks now.
