I dunno what is going on but about a couple of months ago, I had to have a throttle body actuator replaced on my '93 400E. I gave Phil at PARTSHOP my VIN and he sent me one overnite. The one that came was the wrong one. It was the right one according to Phil's computer but the one that was in the car was a different PN. Once my mechanic gave Phil the right PN he sent me out the correct one.

So I don't know how come there is such a deviance from the VIN to PN programs.
