Hi
I just got my sprinter back from the dealer, i was supposed to be in for a 100,000 mile check up and recall but they just did a oil change, anyway they told me the Diesel Particulate Filter flange was bad and coming apart. in fact the service guy said the screen around the outside is what is mostly holding it together. I have a extended warranty and the filter is covered HOWEVER they do not cover the FLANGE which from what I understand is in the middle of the filter. The service guy said I should call the corporate number and see if I can get them to cover it.
Is this something that can be replaced by me? or does it require special tools only at Mercedes?
thanks to anyone that has any info
