That's pretty unlucky mate, I wonder if the A-class has one of those long ducts from the air intake to the filter?

Good news on the finance though, pretty lucky there.

seems odd that a new engine isn't cost effective on a 9 month old car.
Not saying its right or wrong, just doesn't feel right somehow.

The engine is set down low in an A class for crash safety, in a front end accident the engine and gearbox slides under the passengers.
