My C180 is now in ICU. 2008 Jan in its 7 year. C&C @ JB dismantle and saw the state of the engine, camshaft, valve & chain.
Quoted $29k RM & I almost fainted :crybaby: !! Sent to C&C there as I was driving from KL-Malacca-JB before it fail to ignite after experiencing vibration at low speed or stop. Was praying hard for it to last back to SG but luckily it failed me when I park to rest at my parent's place. Tow to C&C @ Tampoi on Monday 23/2/15 & after getting electrocuted, tow the casualty to a workshop in Permas Jaya - MB Auto Garage
(Owner formerly works at C&C and started joint venture @ G-performance auto sdn bhd). Saw a posting about this workshop owner GAN from another forum and called the guy who posted in the forum (he was nice enough to leave his contact in the forum for those in need of help) and decided to give it a try. He immediately assess the casualty and told me confidently that at C&C, the damage would be around $28k RM. Told me mine is the earlier batch and is prone to this problem. The 2 camshaft adjusters' teeth(majority) were badly worn out causing the piston to continually hit the valve and now it could not shut completely. I still have photos of the extent of the damage and Gan was able to share a few options with me. In fact he showed me a receipt of a similar condition of the damage and it totalled $18k RM :shhh: . Still sensing my unhappiness about the amount, he reassured me he will try his best to give me a satisfactory price by 27/2/15 after assessing & checking the price with his source. He came across to me as a trustworthy man who knows Benz inside out having sent to Germany for a training & work stint. I hope to share the good news to you when my car is discharged. Then I will update you about his workshop and workmanship. Meanwhile I can only pray hard.... :confused:
(Feel free to msg/call me @ 9387-8484 :coffee4: if you wish to take a look at the damaged of my C180 and the quotation from C&C) :wink:

Part II

Today 07/03/15 - 9 days after my car is towed from C&C JB Tampoi to MB Auto at Permas Jaya, It is finally discharge from the garage. I must compliment Mr Gan for a very cost effective damage limitation. C&C quoted me $29k RM to overhaul the engine and Mr Gan manage to work things out for $12k RM. That's not all, he is even willing to accept SGD at a rate of $2.70 for $1 as compared to $2.65 at money changer. So in total I ended up $4300 SGD poorer for a new set of camshaft, timing chain, gasket, valve piston and a few hoses due to wear & tear. In addition, he even gave me a guarantee of 3 years for same replaced items to reassure me the quality of his workmanship. The best is that he even coordinated C&C JB Tampoi to replace a damage Solenoid steering valve that they accidentally damage during my ICU there when dismantling the engine to trouble shoot. It save me from driving there myself to rectify the issue. For this I must also applaud C&C JB for willing to take responsibility for the damage the technician might have accidentally inflicted.
Think from today onwards, MB Auto has gain my trust and a new regular from now on.

If you face a similar issue and need a cheaper alternative, feel free to pay him a visit. YOU WILL NOT REGRET!!!
Let me know if you want to take a look at the worn out camshaft, C&C quotes, MB Auto invoices as I think it will be archived for a long time. You will be horrified it can happen to anyone even with regular schedule servicing.
Just my luck I guess.
