As I'm waiting on a my parts to arrive for my 603.970 rebuild, I started to clean and prep the external parts. I discovered that my timing cover is cracked and looks as though I'll need a new one or a good used one. The part number I got was 6010150601, is this correct? Also I called the dealer and its not available so I was wondering if anyone here would have this part.

Thanks

Parts.com has it for $157.50.

You'll have to substitute a "dot" "." for the spaces in the URL below and then paste it into your browser.

Good luck.

I put an order in but they called back and refunded me the money since they order it in from the dealer and they said no stock.

There's a used one on ebay for $125 with free shipping.

Does anyone know if part #6020150101 will work? I found one locally and it came from a OM606

If you post your VIN, I'm sure someone would be happy to look it up in the EPC for you. They will find both the original P/N as well as any that have superseded it. Alternatively, I know there are some Russian sites that have the EPC available for use, but I don't know how often they are updated, etc. You can give this one a try if you like: Index to Mercedes EPC Parts Info and Diagrams Everything Benz

Good luck.

Look through the pictures at this link; they should be helpful.

I have one I can't remove from a .971 block because the crank pulley flange bolt is on but good. I'll see if I can borrow a bigger impact wrench.

Do you know if the donor 606 used a piston (through mid-97) or vane (from mid-97) vacuum pump? That might be the only difference that matters.

I took a very close look at the part #6020150101 and it is ever so slightly different and it will require more material from behind to be able to drill and tap the hole, so in a nut shell I don't feel comfortable with using it. It looks like I'm back on the search for part #6010150601. I have emailed the seller on ebay and hopefully they ship to Canada.

Sixto I'd really appreciate it if you can, please keep me posted.

Thanks
