Extra car for teen drivers
Re: Extra car for teen drivers
Sort-of ordered the cat through Benz New London.
Called and said I needed the cat. They were able to get it even slightly cheaper than they last quoted me over the phone - $1005.00, $87 core.
They wanted like $150 for the two clamps (and a bolt for one of the clamps). Online it appeared they should be $34 and $17, but he said there was no way those were the right clamps if they were that much cheaper on the New London dealer wesbite. The weird part is that he said their policy prohbits giving me PN's over the phone and would not verify the clamp PNs I had in my basket at their website (which were like $6 more total than the Warwick dealer so I figured I'd just get from New London). So I didn't bother getting the clamps from them. I'll either try to reuse the old ones or I'll buy them from Warwick since that policy sucks.
They cannot take payment over the phone - has to be through some secure email billing system. Has to be paid up before they'll actually order it.
If my payment goes through rapidly, they think they'll have it in on Friday. I won't be able to pick up until Monday or Tuesday at the soonest.

Re: Extra car for teen drivers
So... do I order clamps/bolt from Benz Warwick and have them shipped or do I skip it and hope I can reuse...
I did have the wrong PNs from the New London website. I wonder if it took me to the listing for the X156 non-AMG model.
Decisions decisions...
A 000 490 16 41 - $44.55
A 000 995 22 33 - $66.60
A 000 995 23 33 - $71.10
A 210 990 09 04 - $9.45
Total would've been $191.70 + tax and shipping.
I guess I'll pull it apart and hope I can reuse all of it.

Re: Extra car for teen drivers
I posted the exhaust diagram and parts list. Why the part number confusion?
Re: Extra car for teen drivers
I am watching a video on the C218 (2014 CLS63) which has one of those collapsing spares. So I guess take a look at that.
Re: Extra car for teen drivers
Because I had used the standard Mercedes Website lookup with my VIN. Must've reverted to standard GLA 250?kevm14 wrote: Wed Sep 03, 2025 4:05 pm I posted the exhaust diagram and parts list. Why the part number confusion?
Re: Extra car for teen drivers
Yeah don't use that.
Re: Extra car for teen drivers
Made my first 300 mile trip in it. Seemed to run fine, only codes are still cat related. Oil temp seemed to fully settle out at 210, engine coolant at 200 per the AMG display, 215 per the scan tool, and trans at 180 per the AMG display.
