Mercedes 350 SDL

Have a 91 350 SDL. Just had it completely redone, paint, interior, etc. Looks brand new. Then it developed a strange noise. Took it to a Mercedes shop, not a dealer shop, and was told it has a connecting rod problem. Cost to repair around $10,000. They also told me that this problem is wide spread, and Mercedes has refused to acknowledge it, which has resulted in a class action suit against Mercedes. Does anyone have any information regarding this problem??? Would greatly appreciate any help.

I also have recently purchased a beautiful 1991 350SDL with 114k miles. There is a 14 page letter by John A Blazer a member of the Mercedes Benz Club Of America that chronicles the problems that many people have had with this motor. You could e-mail him at JABlazer@aol.com to find out how to get a copy of this newsletter. E-mail me at freddyboyhobbs@worldnet.att.net so we can discuss your (and possibly my) options. I do know that the motors that have been repaired by MBNA have not had any problems.
