no amg no care

We need the ultimate facepalm gif for this one...

i was thinking the same thing

common sense none. :facepalm:showed our detailer and he almost cried

what i dont even

probably brought it into the dealership next day complaining how the car is having electrical problems

not a single fuck was given.............

$$$ =.= $$$

I am NOT condoning what this idiot did - yet its probably not as bad as most of us think.

Most electronics, especially those in the doors, will be conformal coated (ie waterproof). Carpets and mats will dry, they get wet all the time. Leather doesn't soak up much water. The entire car is galvanized from the factory, inside and out. ...

Sadly, all this over engineering makes it possible for idiots like this to get away with his stupidity.

he forgot the wheels...

Thing is, that's a lot of water in there. The immediate damage might not be as severe as people think it is, but depending on the climate, and how/how long he leaves the car out, will it really dry out properly?

It's already going to get into the cracks in the dash electronics, soak into the mats/fabric, and stay there. Potential mold and slim chance on rust all over?

people should asked to give IQ exam before buying cars/lic. .... as we all know, driver test/exam aint just cutting it.

:fulloffuck:

.... if they did that you wouldn't own a car

I wonder what he was thinking while he was driving home......

how can anyone be this dumb..

I wonder if he actually owns that car...what if it's not his? :suspicious:

So what you are saying is technically this is okay todo :suspicious: If someone did this to your car you would be okay with it if they let it dry over night.
Let me know how it goes :fullofwin:

I've seen a brand new R350 that had it's sunroof left open at a dealer. Rain soaked the interior and it resulted in an electrical fire.

After drying out the interior and replacing a burnt out cluster, the only obvious sign of water damage in the car is the rust on the metal arms of the head rest.

Perhaps you don't understand the word "condone", nor that he did it his own car. I wouldn't condone or let someone do it to my car, is that clear enough for you?

No its pretty bad

I would guess there are 80 modules in that car and if any of them touch water there done. What about the wiring and electrical connectors that connect all these modules together, yeah there done too. Engineers done design car's to be power washed from inside, i mean really think about that for a sec.

I have seen on numerous occasions of shampooing carpets causing 20k+ in damage easy on a new Merc

Post some. If you cannot, don't make people paranoid about shampooing carpets on luxury vehicles.

I've pulled my seats and all carpets out of the car before to clean them (salt from Ontario winters sucks to clean). There's nothing under the seats or carpets that would be problematic.

It makes sense too. These cars are designed for extreme winters, including lots of melting snow and salt. Hell the gas pedal is electronic and gets coated in snow and salt in the winter, and I haven't seen a reported failure on MBWorld.

My Benz takes a beating as I drive it 4 seasons....*knock on wood*
I spilt 1 liter+ of coffee on my seats/carpet. Nothing a shop-vac couldnt handle. Merc carpets can injest a lot of fluids...almost 2 liters before they begin to get over saturated.

Epic fail. The Macedonian man makes the C-Lai look like a genius behind the wheel of a car.

I dunno...Benzes can take a beating :fullofwin:

164x GL that had shampooed carpets, flooded spare tire well, battery/module box. Off the top of my head vehicle needed
-Power tailgate hydraulic pump and control module
-Rear Sam
-Front Sam
-Central Gateway
-Audio Gateway
-Audio Amplifier
-Front fuse box
-ESP control module
-Main and ISM battery
-SRS control module
-Main body harness because it was all rotted out
+40hr labour to gut the interior and re/re body harness and install said modules

I've also seen a 203 C class for rotted out body harness that runs along left and right side door jams that house interior can bus connectors and corroded rear seat belt ETR's.

I've seen corroded PSE pumps and shorted batteries on 210 E classes because there under the rear seats

I've seen corroded PSE pumps and Battery Control Modules on 230 SL classes because there in the spare tire well

I mean the list goes on. There are many differences between a base model c class from 10 years ago to something that is current. Cars and more so technology has come a long way. There are probrably 10 modules on your car that i can think of, probrably about 80 in a new CLS.

Cars were never designed to be power washed or to be flooded with water. If you look at any of the electrical connectors in the interior they dont have any weather pack insulation as they do on any one inside the engine bay.

Bottom line is electronic and water don't mix. Results may vary
