Please let us know how you do in Tarzana, I live close to Glendale and have been quite surprised by the cost of parts at Cal Star. I have been even more surprised by the apparent lack of MBZ knowledge at the local "European Shops" ...I inquired about having a local shop do a water pump job on my 190E 2.6 .....I left laughing when they told me I needed to replace my timing "belt" at the same time and quoted 1500.00 or so.

Long story, made short, I fixed it myself over a weekend and could not find any damage on the non-existent timing belt . My cost was about $200.00 total. BTY--- there is no timing belt in my car. Its a chain!
The local shops in Glendale, CA don't have the best reputation. Buyer be ware.
