I learned a cool thing about Mercedes part numbers that may increase your MB trivia score...

Take this part for example:

MERCEDES BENZ SLK MODEL DRIVER DOOR SHELL

PART NUMBER: A 170 720 13 05 7211

The (A) means that it is a Standard part. If it started with a (B) it would be an Accessory, and an (H) is an AMG part.

The (170) is the Model it was made for. In this case, an SLK R170.

(720) is a Group number. Drop the 0 and it is a group (72) interior part.

the (05) is the Part Type like a door panel.

The (7211) is a specific Trim code.

And last but not least, the (13) is the number of times this part has been changed or modified.

I find the last bit of information most interesting...

Enjoy...

  1. SLK320 Instrument Cluster Failed - Now Won't Crank

    R170 SLK-Class
    What happened: I have a 2001 SLK320, six-speed manual with 152,XXX miles. On my way to work last week, a quick flash (which I think was the ESP light) drew my attention to the instrument cluster. I saw all the instruments go to zero state and then come right back. Curious, but everything was...

    R170 SLK-Class
    99 SLK 230. Going down freeway at 60 mph when it just died. Pulled to shoulder and tried to restart but nothing, would not even crank. All lights, radio, gauges, windows worked so it was good electrically. Towed home by AAA. Back at home it started right up (???). It was not a fuel issue, and...

  6. R170 SLK200 Turbocharging

    R170 SLK-Class
    Hi All, Down here in Australia low mileage R170 SLK200's can be had for an absolute song. I'm talking about the non-supercharged, M111.946 135BHP version. The only trouble is they couldn't pull a sick woman off a pisspot. So...... I was thinking a nice little turbocharger hanging off the side...
