    Hi everyone.

    I am the owner of a200 class Mercedes amg 1.3. It is 2019 plate and has 40k. I bought it with 26k on one owner before. Had car a year. 

    I had a service a month ago at a reputable garage and they have found oil misting on top of engine that must be coming from the cam. It’s a very small amount that develops roughly every week and to be fair when I use a wet wipe hardly amount comes off looks worse than it is 

    I took it to German auto care and they said it would be over £800 to fix but at this time it doesn’t seem a big issue.

    What are your thoughts? Thr picture attached was when it hasn’t been cleaned up so looks worse

    Well, there is quite a bit of oil in the photo, in which case I think it needs to be eliminated. I can’t give you any advice on prices because I don’t know what they will do and I don’t know the cost of the work, just like you.
