oem parts numbers for rear coil springs

[jjayp]

how can I get the oem parts numbers for the rear coil springs (there are many different ones and mine have with three blue markings.)
I called MB and they don't give out the oem numbers. Just said my springs will cost £64 + VAT
I know there is a OEM website but its £60.
Any ideas around this?

Doesn’t sound bad to me, but call MB Grangemouth on 01324 686002 Parts department give them your vin number and they will match for you with a forum discount

To be honest I don't think I'd go outside the dealer network and Grangemouth Mercedes give us good prices.

Ordered from Mb Grangemouth, very helpful chap, and a great price. The link to the technical site was great, but for steering, brakes and suspension it really has to be genuine mb parts.

Genuine springs...break.

Third party ones often don't fit.. (had that on my 129).

They also take many years to break and at least fit
