Ok, so he can buy them from FCP a Euro then. For that matter, I've found a bunch of Mann oil filters on closeout from Rock Auto lately. I cleaned them out. I only buy Mann or OE. -D Sent from my iPad > On Mar 31, 2017, at 9:21 AM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes >

Bzzzt wrong. Checked 606 filters for example 108.80 when buying case of 10 from your Mann site, fcp has the case for $94.99. Or you can get oem Mahle for 8.10 each from importec. For a 617 it's 223.20 for case of 20, or 8.45 each from importec, $8.69 each from fcp. In 80-90% of the cases

I had one (TR7412UB-OR Continental Radio with USB and Bluetooth - 12 Volt - Orange LED) that went south and has been returned to the seller (a place in Germany) for a warranty replacement, but now I'm getting crickets from them by email. I need to call them probably. The radio is dirt simple and

Buy one of the Continental radios. They’re relatively cheap and have all the modern appurtenances like bluetooth, USB MP3 capability, etc., and they look nice and correct in our cars. I’ve got one in the 350SDL and I love it. Max has one, too, I believe. I’m going to get another one maybe

Is it usually an oil prrssure gauge failure, or something else? The warning lights are progressively being obscured by some sort of slow motor oil leak. Oil is not hosing out anywhere. Yet. Thanks ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives
