Price of EZL units .

[optimusprime]

I posted this a few years ago .To tell other W124 owners to pick up one of these EZL moduals .At the time i picked up my spare one it cost me only £90 . Well doing a search on Ebay yesterday i came across this - and i did say get to get one before this happens . Well is as and you can see .

I hope it's ok to resurrect this thread. Does anyone know the part number for this for a 1991 C124 230CE? Kat model.

I tried putting that into a part number finder but it said it wasn't on the database, or similar words.

Thank you, both .

Is that a database that can be purchased?

One last question. Do you know if the the new Hitachi or Trucktec (sp?) ones on Autodoc are any good or is it only worth buying Siemans? There's a few used Siemans ones on ebay, but they're all as elderly as mine, so seems a bit of a gamble.

EMPP No idea about new parts .. i just picked mine up off Ebay ,it cost £90 i will take the chance of it going bad for that price ..i used it on the car to make sure it was fine . So now just a spare like so many of the parts i have for my W124 . Myself i would buy a good second hand EZL ,,best to shop around for a reasonable price off a good seller .

Thank you @optimusprime

I wish I'd been savvy enough to collect W124 spares when I first started driving them in 2003, they were readily available and reasonable. Some mad prices being asked these days!

emp Yes the prices for second hand parts that are NLA at the Mercedes shop is getting out of hand, and sellers know that . And if you dont buy it from them, then you will just have to go elsewhere . By the way do you see a number on your original part ?

I haven't looked yet, tbh. Until you posted that exploded diagram I wouldn't have had a clue where to find it.

AFAIK, there's nothing wrong with mine, just wanted to get a spare in case of future problems. What started it off was seeing a clean-looking and reasonable used one on ebay but didn't know the part number so didn't buy it. I'm afraid I'm not techy at all. I can read a dipstick...

EMP As well as the info i posted,, i would look at your old original EZL first off and check the part numbers on it to see if my info is the same . And to fit them , you will need a special grease to coat the back of it before clamping it in to place. I will find a better picture of it in the car on Wednesday .

These are not ezl units https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/a0025455932
they are the simpler ignition units which are still available

Its better termed heat sink compound-its purpose is to transfer heat from the EZL unit to the inner wing -- with age it dries out and the unit transistors overheat!

Finally the car has defrosted. A0085459432 is the correct part no. as your database said. Thank you.
