Hi,
Regarding the fuel pump and filter, the 43 items are different from any other 202, they are different to the ClK 430 and I believe the E430, it was one of the items that were uprated, to make it an AMG.
Have you got an airbox yet? Might have one, I also have a pair of exhaust manifolds, that I might be persuaded to get rid of.
The gearbox I believe is unique to the C43 that is according to the gearbox pt. No. and the EPC, though I,m sure I have seen quoted before that its the same as the SL 600, I think I would be looking for a CLK 430 gearbox, torque convertor and TCU
Where did you get the engine from? Is it Jacks old one?

 

[horgantrevor]

i have the intake filter housing

i got the engine from olly collecting saturday

how much for the exhaust manifolds pm the details if you want to sell

thank you for the info i better look for a fuel pump and filter thank you

once again thank you

HI,
You are aware that the suspension on the 43 differs only from any other 202 in that the front and rear roll bars are thicker and the coils springs and shocks.
Steering wise the drag link and steering box are different on the 43 too but as your donor vehicle is a V6 and not an inline 4 I believe the ones on the car will be ok.

 

[horgantrevor]

yes the wishbones on the v6 and the drag link are the same as the c43

also i have fitted a set of c43 springs and shocks i got form germany the sway bar's i have not changed as of yet but im looking for many more parts the list gets longer buy the day when i learn more

thx again
