Hello all. Just picked up a 03 SLK230. Has 91000 miles. Has been pretty well maintained.
it does need motor mount. I also would like to replace Flex discs. Ive searched where to purchase these parts. Dealer is a little pricey and im not confident they are not far superior. My question is where is the best place to pick up these parts? Napa only shows 1 motor mount, so are they the same? just order 2?
Would like to be confident Im ordering correct parts. Or should I just purchase from dealer?
I would check out the r170 forum for recommendations on the parts. I had a slk230 years back. They are nice cars. Congratulations on your purchase. As to vendors, take a look at FCP Euro, autohausAZ, and pelican parts. They have been my go to part supplies for some time.
Yes el cheapo parts suck and wont last. When it comes to engine mounts and flex disc you want to buy OEM original or a good German name brand like Lemforder or Febi etc Focus on parts houses that specialize in Benz parts. I made the mistake of buying Corteco brand mounts and only lasted 1 yr. Had I bought quality I would not have too do it again.
Motor mount OE numbers, 220-240-19-17 left, 220-240-26-17 right. Flex disc 000-411-00-00 front & rear. Available on my favorite site www.benzpartsusa.com
My first choice for MB parts is https://www.mbdirectparts.com/
Quite often they sell MB parts for +- the same other sell aftermarket or OEM parts.
Motor mounts turn pretty important parts as some replaced them with aftermarket, only to do the job again.
Flex disks last very long tome on MB, so inspect them before making decision.
