I had ordered a OVP relay for my 95 C220 from Phil at Fastlane. When I had first ordered the part it was from the PartsShop, But Phil recomended ordering from Fastlane because it was cheaper. I had ordered 000-540-67-45 as the replacement for 000-540-52-45. When I received the part it was the latter. Should I use this part or order another one from the PartsShop who has the listed replacement part. Phil has been out a couple of days so I haven't had a chance to speak with him. Thanks.

Does the relay have that OE part number on the case? Or is it a Stribel with manufacturer # 897219. If it is the latter then you have the latest version!

M.B. DOC:

The relay is made in Germany by KAE with these numbers 3.901.320. Thats all that's listed on the case. The box it came with has the part # 000-540-52-45. This doesn't seem to be the replacement part. Please help. Thanks.

K.A.E. is a less $$$ copy(aftermarket) of the original relay, with all of the OE problems it may do as well as the OE brand!
