Maybe you can answer a question for me then; Mine leaked and was repaired in October 2006, about a year ago. I asked the service writer at that time if the o-rings were different or improved or updated in some way so this will not be a recurring thing; he said they were. Can you tell me if there has been an update since last October? Or do I really have the "improved" o-rings in there? So far so good, no more leaks - - but I only have 10,000 miles on the car and the first leak occured at 5800 miles.

One reason I'm skeptical is a good friend is a technician at a Mercedes Benz dealership in Southern California; he's been there 15 years and has 5 techs working under him so he's not a rookie - - and he tells me this has been a known issue in Mercedes cars since 1996 or so. You'd think they would have ALREADY updated the O-rings before the 300's were even produced, wouldn't you?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
