This is a 2004 mercedes c230. Check engine light went on. I went to dealer within 15 miles of warning light coming on. I was told that there was an oil leak and that it had dripped over the wiring harness. It would cost $3,500 to repair. I have never missed a maintenance on this car. They said the this happens because of where the o2 sensor is located. This is a defect and design flow created by mb. They should do a recall to protect the wiring harness

This is a 2004 mercedes c230. Check engine light went on. I went to dealer within 5 miles of warning light coming on. I was told that there was an oil leak and that it had dripped over several components and the wiring harness. I would cost $3,500 to repair but they absorbed the labor cost and it should cost about $2,000. I have never missed a maintenance on this car. They said the this happens because of where the o2 sensor that leaked is. It seems odd to have minor issue cause such enormous damage.
