    Mercedes-Benz C200 2008: Timing chain stretched
    Answered by Graham Smith · 5 January 2017

    Normally I would have expected the car to run roughly when the chain stretched. They stretch progressively, not overnight, so there should have been some warning that all was not well. But it is low kilometres for a chain to stretch, which might mean you have a case for a goodwill claim against Mercedes, although I wouldn’t fancy your chances of success.

    Mercedes-Benz C200 2008: Kompressor auto transmission problem
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 7 February 2014

    Your frustration is understandable. I would urge you to go back to Mercedes-Benz direct and request some assistance with the cost of repairs. While I doubt that Mercedes would cover the whole cost of the job, I would think they might cover part of the cost if you approach them in a reasonable way. If you don't want to go down that path consult an automatic transmission specialist and get another quote for repairs.
