Don't go by the website... call or email. Like Rusty was, the site isn't an accurate representation of what he has access too. But I think with hoses, Uro and Geniune may be all there is in some cases. Jaime On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 3:12 PM, Rich Thomas < richthomas79td...@constructivity.net>

Agreed, conti is the way to go. Still genuine MB in many cases, but some other brands have appeared for genuine, like Optibelt. Also made in Germany, appear to be good quality. I think the last geniune belt I bought for my '95 E320 was a Mitsubishi belt, oddly... with an MB star on it too. Jaim
