Hi

Can anybody help? I have just moved to the Jordan and have purchased a ML 350. The car comes with no information apart from that it was repo'ed in California Feb 09.

So can anybody tell me what spec it is from it's vin No.4JGAB57E95A526931.

I intend to have a full service carried out locally, Replacing AC, Oil, Air and Fuel Filters. Also all brake pads wipers and spark plugs.

Do you guys know where these can be sourced and what their part No. are?

Looks like I'm going to be spending alot of time on this web site.

Many Thanks

2005 ML350



Hi,
a good place to start is carfax.com. Just enter the VIN and get a full report of your vehicl. In order to get a report however, you will need a US-credit card. Without it there is no way to get te information. Maybe you can ask someone in te US to do it for you.
Or you try carfax.eu/de, the europe based US-carfax-data base.(what a word!) You will need to pay in Euros for that same report....
Carfax shows at least that your truck is a 2005 ML and that there are 10 records...migt be interested to know about the history.

Reguarding part numbers for your US-truck, I recommend to go to a MB-dealer in Amman and ask for the corresponding VIN used outside the US. Dealers are able to punch in the US-VIN in order to get a Chassis number starting with WDC163..... According to this VIN dealers are able to order ALL parts for the truck. I do own a US-model too and never had problems to get parts thru a MB-dealer here in Greece or directly from Germany. So it shouldn't be impossible in the middle east too. From what I know there are actually licensed MB-dealers at your place. Most spare parts (like the ones you mentioned) are the same used in the US and overseas and part numbers do match too.

There are a couple of US-part suppliers who have very good prices on spare parts in the US. I ordered a couple of times from autohausaz.com, their service is great, BUT shipping overseas is also pretty expensive (plus customs fees). So to be on te safe side, I buy the parts here at my dealer, althougt their prices are higher but I can be sure they are te right ones. It's more or less hassle free.
Keep in mind, not every online source ships overseas/out of the US/Canada. Like MB of Ft.Lauderdale. They have a great website, but no shipping abroad.

Hope it helps, good luck
