I am about to purchase a Mercedes van from its owner an 87 year old woman who loves the vehicle but, due to bad knees, just can't get into/out of it the way she used to. In a former life it was a yellow German postal van but has since been painted white and converted to a camper/motorhome.

Because it has been sitting for the last 12 years, all four wheel cylinders are incredibly corroded and need to be replaced.

Does anyone know how to search for truck parts on MB EPC? I've tried entering the VIN with no luck. I've also tried the model designation (309.116) and got nowhere. The Russian site is a little better but doesn't provide part numbers. I believe many of the parts on these vans interchange with Unimogs and/or G-wagons but can't pin down which models apply.

The original wheel cylinders have ATE and the number 5 in the casting. I haven't cleaned them up yet in order to measure the bore.

There are many European forums for these vehicles, many of which point to German, Spanish and French Ebay sites for parts but the factory part numbers seem to be a well kept secret.

By the way~ the original 2.2 diesel (OM615) and 4 speed manual have already been swapped out for an OM617 NA with a 4 speed auto. The body is rough but we got it started and the engine purrs. But I won't know about the drive train until the brake issue is addressed.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
