We did ask for the dealership to take the part off of a van that was on the lot. They asked management and they said no do to liability. We also asked about a junk yard and they said if you want to go search you can but they will not. The sensor in the fuel rail is what is bad and unfortunately it is not a separate part you have to get the fuel rail. The dealership did state that they did some special order to get it here faster. The key really seemed to be if Germany had the part in stock.
So yesterday became the Albuquerque Challenge. How much stuff can you pack into a ML 550 SUV, that was loaned to us by the dealership to get home, from your Sprinter van. They also paid for a night in a hotel. There is something called a trip interrupter fund. We give them the reciepts and they submit them to Mercedes Benz.
So we got my lovely wife, me, two labs, Yeti SB66, Yeti SB95(another reason not to get a 29er, packing those cart wheels takes a lot of space) tools, pump, bike cloths, regular cloths, helmets, bike shoes, dog food, camelbacks, pillow into the vehicle.
And yes Vic, we turned left atlbuquerque to head home to Colorado Springs.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions and comments.
