1995 E300 D (124.131) - wiper transmission has failed, warranting its renewal. These vehicles came from the factory equipped with either Bosch or SWF transmissions, linkages and motors. A new Bosch transmission (124 820 25 07) is $970 from the dealer, where as the total price for a new SWF transmission, linkage and motor totals $880 ($585, $45, & $250).

Any reason not to go with the installation of all new SWF components? The parts would have to come from Germany but with SWF the total price would be $90 less than the Bosch transmission only and all of the wiper components would be new. Replacing all of the Bosch components would total $1,402.

Thanks.
