Dealer repair, part rebreaks, compression low.

Typically the warranty not only covers the part replaced, but any damage that warranted failed part might have caused.

Thanks.
That is what I figured but i seen wording on other products that say it covers the specific product and not anything else. Like batteries for a wireless mouse, batteries cover but not the mouse unless they want to be good about it.
I was thinking of contacting MB but should i go through the dealer as a first step (go up the chain to the main service manager)? As the assistant service manager I dealt with already said you need new engine and left it at that. No further help on anything. He never told me they ran a compression test even when I dropped by twice. I found out on from the workorder; hence, thinking of going directly to MB.

The only other MB dealer that is owned by someone else is 50-60miles away.

I'd start at the dealership where the work was done, service manager, general manager, etc. Then if you get no satisfaction, I'd ask for the contact info for the regional manager.

Good luck.

I would check your engine mounts which h may have caused the water outlet to break. The low compression issue may be caused y carbon building up on the valves. I would try a double dose of Marvel Mystery Oil to a full tank of fuel & see if that helps. Too bad the dealer didn't run a camera down I to #2 cylinder & see what is going on.

Or a Scanguage or an UltraGuage.

I have a borescope to look down the cylinder but haven't got around yet (still working and back is hurt). Need to get a leakdown tester and/or compression tester 12mm adpater. I didn't drive it so not sure how overheated it got. But with those compression values probably alot plus they don't hold alot coolant and when you add antifreeze, it just pours out.
I saw somewhere a guy replaced his gauge cluster with an OEM that has a temp bar graph on the right side(i think right side). Really dumb not to have it for us that always glance at gauges as it is just coded software and the crystal screen is the same cost.
Problem is i can't run the MMM nor others as engine doesn't start.
Going to see how far i can get with the dealer and MB. Expecting nothing but we'll see.
The large break happened on the housing of the socket. The small hose coming from it to the top of engine is broken off and you can see a large hole in the socket.
