Greenie wiring harness E320 interchange question

Benz friends,

There are two wiring harnesses specified for our 95 E320 wagon.

MB part # 124 440 29 33, which we should have on our car, and another, MB part # 124 440 56 32, which is specified for an earlier chassis than ours.

I just salvaged a near new 124 440 56 32 from a 93 300E with a M104 engine.

The 93 also specs a chassis break point and the exact same part numbers are specified for the 93 before and after the break point.

Whilst I'm not surprised to see a mid year break point, am VERY surprised to see the same parts numbers and two break points in two different years.......


All Parts Express also says this:

(124 44056 32)
Early Version w/ Round Thermostat Sensor Plug;Engine Wire Harness w/ Round Thermostat Housing Plug;

(124 440 29 33)
Late Version w/ Square Thermostat Sensor Plug;Engine Wire Harness w/ Square Thermostat Housing Plug;E;



Does anyone know if I can substitute the 56 32 harness for the 29 33?

This literally is a thousand dollar question......

Many thanks,

Jim Freeh
