Oh not the K40 radar detector that oops thought thats what you were talking bout.

Thanks Terry - I was looking at the right part then. Just didn't think you could get such a big electrical part from Mercedes for only $60 or so. :) I thought they sold them by the square inch.

For the 1996 E300D, according to the EPC, the part number is 210 540 03 72. I haven't priced it yet.

It seems as though the K40 relay has various numbers depending on model and year. Could you please double check this and let us know and correct your Sticky if necessary? Doesn't look like the 210 number fits all diesels across the board.

Phil's price is $102 for 210 540 03 72. That covers my '96 but I don't know whether that extends to the later years.

Len - There are definately 2 diff K40's depending upon which year you own. The 000 540 01 72 is correct for the 98-99. The 03 72 is for the 96-97.

Don't know if there is an internal difference or not but suspect because they have different part numbers that there must be. Russia must have a power outage (the site is down) so cant check the 96-97 part to confirm if it is a 210 or a 000 prefix.

Well the reason I made my last post is due to the fact that the Sticky now contains information that would lead one to believe that all the diesels use the same K40 part number. They obviously don't and that ought to be corrected so someone doesn't waste time and money buying the wrong one.

Thank you
 

This has been corrected.
