R107 300SL Rear box

[Sorry Pete]

Hello all,

Just trying to source a rear exhaust box on my 1988 R107 300SL. I've checked on the Russian site for a part number, and Inchcape can do the part for £187.18, however it shows up as a part for a 250D.

Can anyone confirm that the rear box on a 300SL is part number: A 107 490 84 21?

TIA

Call your local Merc Dealer (Spares Dept) and get a quote for part number and price for your specific car. They will input your VIN for the exact p/n.

A quick research shows that the exact same part number rear muffler was also used on the 8cyl 560SL for the US market...as a result you can easily buy the part on Ebay (or other online autostores) from the States.

And ask them what the part number is, and they will not tell you.

Holy crap! It's not secret information...

The Germans certainly wouldn't put up with that sort of service!

The mind boggles.

I have never had a problem getting part numbers from any of the dealers around here , it saves them looking up again if I am not buying everything on a list there and then .

I have on occasion said I am going to try breakers for certain parts and they will even suggest which other models use the same parts . I always find it good to go in personally and get to know the partsmen , most are very nice and helpful , especially if , as many do , they run older models and are enthusiasts too .
