It would be helpful but only MB has the info and it seems unlikely they are gonig to do it for free.

Of course any decent MB tech would provide it to his clients, as necessary, a gratis. There are some benefits to dealing with professionals.

I did a Google search using, "Mercedes-Benz VIN" and got a long list.

http://www.benzworld.org/modelguide/

Also here:

But the VIN doesn't give you a "build sheet". The production data card is available only at the factory.

The data card minus key info and radio codes is available on all EPCs.

Just wanted to thank everyone who responded with comments, etc. I see in the Star mag. that DB now can supply build sheets for older Benzes, maybe someday they'll make these available to all owners.

I seem to recall coming across a Russian web site that had an online MB VIN decoder but it only worked for Euro VINs, which have a different format from U.S. models. I'll see if I can find the site and post it.
