Has Mercedes Always Been This Bad?

dealers are quite keen to spend your money as you have no option once you have given it to them.
if the laptop says 6 injectors whereas reality and common sense says it cant be all six,then the fitter,(itl unlikely be a mechanic) will just do what the laptop says and make it easyier than removing and testing single ones.
they dont want to get their hands dirty and only want to service brand new trucks,so its whatevers easiest that the computer says with no personal thought proccess.
i had a 540 actros full auto for 3 years without major mishap but for any problems it went back to the n.i dealer for,then it was a waste of time as they were useless and indifferent to fix anything.
the clutch exploded once abroad and it was a 2 day fix which was bad enough,but at least it got fixed correctly.
quite often its the service desk bod that decides what the fault code relates to and instructs what part to replace which is common practice and pathetic in relation to costing you a fortune.
if you get a problem truck,then all you can do nowadays is sell it asap and buy another as the more modern the truck,the more unreliable they become and impossible to repair.
