File date	21/12/11
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After having the check engine light come on, we took the car to the dealership we purchased it from to perform a diagnostic after receiving codes p0170 and p0173 (mb codes 2092/2096) which mb classifies as "mixture in right / left cylinder bank is too rich when idling" and were told we would need to replace the intake manifold for $2110. The explanation we received (verbal only as they refused to describe the problem in writing after asking multiple times) was that a bushing that controls the air flow valves was worn. They could not provide a reason as to what would cause this wear considering the bushing is internal to the control valves. They also could not tell me which specific side this leak was coming from. Since the intake manifold is one large component we would need to replace the entire thing. The car is five years old so roughly just over 12k miles per year and already major components are failing. This is from the same dealer (mb georgetown, texas) who once told us our brakes (rotors and pads) were all bad and needed to be replaced. We took it to a trusted mechanic and only needed to replace the front pads as they were getting close to being worn out. We now need a second opinion since i simply do not trust them. The information they provided was "provide estimate to replace intake manifold for vacuum leak at $2110. Air leak coming from intake tumble flap assembly."
