Had a major (very expensive) service with Mercedes about 4000km ago (km 135397) on 15/5/2018.
I received these pics from my son yesterday.
My wife was driving and this happened about 500 meters from our home.
She tried to start it again.
Now on it?s way to the dealership on a load bed.
Awaiting prognosis

In the past 4 months I had to replace RR bellow, pneumatic spring, compressor, window actuator etc. Getting worried...
Hope it is not worse than the belt and maybe pulleys.

Should I go back to BMW rather??
I love this car.

News from dealer?s workshop.
Pulleys also damaged because of oil that leaked onto the belt.
Rough estimate about ZAR 3k
Let?s hope so.
I asked them to make sure they find the oil leak.
Anyone any idea where it could originate from or had a similar experience?
