| I purchased a 1993 mercedes 300sd in august 2009. the car had 58,000 original miles on it. i was the second owner. i took the car to a local import car/mercedes service center to have it checked over. the mechanic pointed out that the main engine wiring harness and the glow plug wiring harness had serious problems. the wires had serious cracks and much of the insulation was missing. i was informed that unless these wiring harnesses were replaced there would be serious problems. i replaced both sets of wires. there is a serious problem with the insulation on mb engine wires. this car had sat in a garage most of its' 15 years and the insulation deteriorated because mb used a defective insulation and should be held accountable. this car sold for over $64,000 new, and for the insulation to drop off the engine electrical wires is compelling that mbusa should have to recall and repair their defects. *tr | |||
