One thing we pride ourselves on at Absolute Merc is doing things the right way—no shortcuts, no guesswork.
​Here’s a quick look at a gearbox service wrap-up. We're using genuine Mercedes Xentry diagnostics alongside the official Mercedes ultrasonic level tool to precisely correct the oil level.
​Modern transmissions are incredibly sensitive to fluid levels. A fraction too high or too low can affect shift quality and component longevity. By investing heavily in the exact equipment the main dealers use, we guarantee the job is done perfectly every single time.

​🔧 Dealer-level care. Independent value.

It’s been a busy few weeks at the shop, keeping the workhorses of the road where they belong—on it! 🛠️🚐
From major engine work to rapid-turnaround repairs, we’ve been flat out ensuring our customers stay moving. Here’s a look at the lineup from the last few weeks:
* **Vito V6:** In for oil cooler seals. Full service. Wishbones gearbox service.
* ** 3 x OM651 timing chains** completed this week alone.
* **Fast Fixes:** Multiple **Sprinter clutches** replaced and back on the road the **same day** they broke down.
* **Tech & Maintenance:** W205 in for module updates, plus plenty of general servicing and brake overhauls.

Another "Black Death" case defeated! 🛠️🚫
We had a Mercedes Vito come in recently with a severe case of injector leak carbon buildup (aka "Black Death"). The customer was recommended to us by other garages after being told the entire engine would need to be pulled just to fix the issue.
**The result? The engine stayed exactly where it belongs.**
We handled the entire job in-house without the massive labor costs of an engine removal:
* ✅ Injectors pulled successfully.
* ✅ Rocker cover removed and professionally blasted in-house.
* ✅ Cleaned, resealed, and rebuilt in record time.
By using the right specialist tools and techniques, we saved the customer time and money, getting them back on the road without the unnecessary teardown.
If you've been told your Mercedes needs an "engine out" job, give the specialists a call first. We might just have a better way to keep you moving.

Om651 bought into us with a knocking noise. On inspection, we found the balance shaft had worked loose and been grinding on the conrod bolts until they snapped. Recon engine built in-house, including new conrods, pistons, oil pump, timing chain kit, complete oil cooler. We are currently working on having these built up ready to improve turnaround time.

For the common "black death" issues with the OM651 engine, we maintain a comprehensive stock of all essential parts – injector washers, bolts, injector plugs, and leak-off pipes. This ensures a quick and efficient repair, minimizing downtime and getting you back on the road.
