- 1982 300D Turbodiesel (It's a North American only model)
Hi guys, I'm a US Mercedes-Benz owner with a W123 1982 300D Turbodiesel.
My current master cylinder (004-430-23-01) is failing and I have an opportunity to purchase a brand new Metelli master cylinder. Until recently, I'd never heard of Metelli. I did a search and found out that they are an Italian firm, and have been supplying parts to the European market for years. I believe they are a relative newcomer to the US market, which would explain why I haven't heard of them until just now. Thus, I believe you guys would have more experience dealing with Metelli products than any US based Merc owner would.
What is the verdict on Metelli master cylinders? Are they sturdy products of high craftsmanship? Or should I run to the Ate brand master cylinder?
Thanks!
