I'm trying to source a MAS for my late 96 C180 and wonder what i should be paying for one and also does there have to be any sort of "reset" after one is fitted?

Since i only plan to hold on to the car for a another few months should i consider second hand versions?

Before anyone says anything i've had the car about 4 years and its just topped 120k, looking to change to C220D W203 or A4 1.9 TDI.

£224.94 + VAT from the stealers. Just had mine done :( !
Not worth the hassle of trying to install a previously used one. Chances are that they're only available 'cos they're duff in the first place, and furthermore they are fairly delicate and getting kicked around on garage floors or thrown around by dodgy postmen (sorry, we have at least one on here to my knowledge), is only likely to make them even duffer (dictionaries away boys, no it isn't a word).
Fitting however is simple, and should take no longer than 5-10 minutes.
No reset as such required, however if you are doing it yourself it is a good idea to clear the fault code that will have registered on the ECU. I'm not sure if that cannot be done without the correct equipment. I understand that disconnecting the battery for about half-an-hour will clear it's memory, but not delete any fault codes. Perhaps someone can enlighten us on this?
Hope that all helps!

Have you any more details?

Jimmy tried via a Bosch dealer friend of his when I needed my MAS but none of the part numbers made any sense to BOSCH.

Please report back if anyone has sucess via BOSCH.
