I called the dealer this afternoon. The parts lady said the part number for the connector is in the system, but none are in the US as they are special order from Germany. She said she would call me tomorrow and let me know price and availability.

Are the ECU's identical as well? Would one from a 280 work in a 300 assuming tthy were both M104's?

When you took yours apart, were the wires soldered or crimped into the connector?

Greg

The connector PN is 000 545 53 81 and the cost is $18.93. They come form Germany and the shipping is 5-7 days. Needless to say, I placed an order.

Greetings - I am traveling this week so not looking at the forums as often.

The wire lead end connectors are identical to those used in the plugs for the injectors. They have a mechanical crimp point. I would suggest that after crimping, you solder them to insure a permanent connection.

You fasten them to the lead first then push them into the connector. The tabs on it will lock them into place and are pretty much permanent.

Thanks for the part number. Looks like I will need to order one of those as well rather than diving for em.
