All,
I believe this is a common problem.
Friend's car has 60k on the clock, bought AUC maybe 3 years ago with FMBSH.

Oil leak so went to dealer. Diagnosed as oil cooler needing replacing. (From a brief look around online, it sounds like the seals may actually be the issue).
Either way they are quoting a large sum for the fix and saying MB won't contribute.
Given it's a common problem, should he be pushing harder with MB for good will?

Any help appreciated.

A relative has just had her R320 CDI done at an independent garage.

Bill came to around 1k because of the amount of work involved dismantling everything to get at the oil cooler in the middle of the V.
