A MB is just a selection of pattern parts? yes to there specs but at end of day made by others and just assembled by them, like lego
No m not talking about Chinese rip offs or exhausts fitted by kwik fit.
I personally have no issue with Patten parts when I can find out whom MB used, Like Bosch, Mann, Wahle ect
so f they tool up for an MB part, would they then go through hassle of retooling to make an inferior part ? or just change box ?
How much of an MB do they actually make in house ?
The price difference can be massive on basic items like oil and filters.
Yes agreed when you go to MB with vin you get part that fits 1st time and looking on EPC there parts go through many revisions and updates, you may not get on a pattern part as it will be to original specs
Iv looked into some MB independents and they say they use OEM quality parts not MB as they the same specs and quality.
are you an MB only user of parts or are you happy with using MB suppliers?
