It does still apply.I've heard reference to this service bulletin but haven't seen it. Not sure if it still applies.
Does anyone have this bulletin? Are they replacing for free now? I recently was advised I have peeling paint.It does still apply.
I was told it's not a recall but a goodwill gesture, I was expecting to pay for it but the shop called and said Merc would cover the parts. Module.. hoses and fuel injectors.Does anyone have this bulletin? Are they replacing for free now? I recently was advised I have peeling paint.
I paid $600 per engine, not sure what they charge an hour most likely 4/5 hours per engineLooks like Merc is going to provide parts. Work has to be done at a dealer, not a certified mechanic. For those of you who have done this, how many labor hours to do the whole thing? Injectors, cool fuel, rail etc?

And that is for everything? I called a dealer in CA and they said approx. 3500. I thought that was crazy!Off the top of my head this seems close to what I paid as well.

You probably know this already, but relieve the fuel rail pressure before removing the regulator. I found out the fun way on my first CF3 replacement.The housing so far looks like it's in good shape. I would expect the corrosion to be where the raw water circulates. However this is where I believe it is only fuel. I am hoping it's just the o-ring around the pressure regulator but I can see some corrosion on the cover around the pressure regulator. Hard to see in this pic, but you can see approximate location.

I'll try to remove pressure regulator off first then work my way down to the cover.
