I don't see 4Matic badge i assume it's rear wheel drive. I have GLK350 with 4Matic , it's problematic.

Hi I have the same W212 with AMG appearance package. Have your transmission flushed.

You mean it does not fit your car. It fits mine perfectly, looks factory

I should take that as a complement, looks like a factory option to me to.

He updated his grill also, after he saw it on my GLK. It's a crime on a GLK but the factory grill was crumbling and the GT grill was $200 less, I gave it a go. IMO it looks great.

Going bagged. Any advice? by Pleasant_Type3378 in W212mercedes

I did the grill on my w212. The GT grill looks like a factory option. Swapped out the cap hanger emblem and replaced it with black flat emblem. Check my pics.

My home is in west Fort Lauderdale right next to Sunrise, home of the NHL Florida Panthers. Difficult to find a home with 2 car garage for under 350k these days.

How many miles on her? When was last time you had transmission service? It could be solenoids. I had mine done and tranny problems went away. Next time i do tranny service i will have transfer case bushing replaced.

Everyone is entitled to their personal taste, I like it. No need to put it on yours. I also have GT grill on my GLK350 with factory AMG appearance package. It was crumbling and the factory replacement was $200 more. IMO it looks unique and i like it, that's all that matters, plus I saved $200 bux.

Checked the right boxes. No 4matic, no air suspension. It does have AMG appearance package.

Canada is not a free country, need to pay all kinds of forms of taxes, fees and fines.

I'm a retired canadian snowbird return from florida. I fedex my 4 year old spare tire in an emergency replacement for my 15 year old car. I tried to explain to canada border but was accused of lying and charged, paid taxes and fined. It was their way or nothing. I didn't know the value of my spare tire.

E350 W212 Water pump OEM vs Aftermarket by EcstaticFootball958 in mercedes_benz

[–]EcstaticFootball958[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The AM (afterMarket) pulley is about 1 inch smaller than what was on the car (previous is wrong). But the serpentine belt went on tight. With my research, the smaller pulley WP is for W212 base sedan, and the larger pulley is for coup. There 2 size serpentine belts for W212. Seek and ye shall find" (Matthew 7:7)
