Have car in shop, mech. says I need ignition module. Can come either as new OEM from Mercedes at around $800. or I can shop used for probably around $150 to $300.
Questions: Will ANY model year ignition module for a gas W124 inline 6 work? Or do I specifically need the '88 unit?
ALSO, do I need to replace my coil when I do find a new ignition module unit?
Here's what one guy said:
"and yes, you do need to replace the coil or you run the chance of burning up the good used unit. not worth the risk."

Thanks,
Tom in Tulsa
'88 300E

P.S. BTW, if anyone HAS a suitable ignition module, don't be shy!
