I'm doing some work on a friend's 98 ML320 with 95K and have a few questions relating to the fuel filter and O2 sensor.

I'm shopping for parts and need to know what chassis number applies to this vehicle, i.e., -A-289559, -X-745619, A-289560-, X-754620-. How would I go about finding this information?

That all relates to the last 7 digits of the VIN number.

-A289559 would mean UP TO that number
A289560- would mean AFTER that number (look at the "dash" before or after)
Same with the numbers -X745619 and X745620-
There may be a digit between the A or X and the first number, may be a check digit, so don't sweat that, Hopefully you'll figure it out when you see the VIN number. It just means there is a difference depending on production sequencing. Post the last 7 or 8 digits of the VIN if you still aren't sure.
