Can anybody help me with the part number for the flex disc/coupling. As far as I know the front and rear are the same. I bought 2 today with the part no. 210 411 04 15 and want to make sure they are correct. I am travelling and am far away from my vehicle so cannot jack it up to look but know it needs replacement.
This is a flex disc/ prop shaft coupling for those that don't know. Thing has a few names.
EPC shows what you have as applying to many models but not the W204.
While you have the driveshaft off, look at replacing the center carrier bearing and bearing support. You have it apart so replace them now.
See attachment for the part numbers for which you are looking. An EPC subscription is worth it.
Edit: I just saw you are in South Africa. The parts shown are for a North American Car; part numbers for Standard are the same. Please note bearing part numbers change (upgrades?) by VIN. May be driveshaft diameter dependent or just an upgraded bearing.
Hey Shaun. What's your mileage at? Mine only have cracks but I aint really happy with them though the rear at the diff still looks good for another 100 000km. I ordered mine through the agents. If you supplied your vin, they would show you the listing on the propeller shaft for the two. The front and rear should be the same. Check up the WIS repair manuals for them and as mentioned above maybe best to replace centre carrier bearing and mount. I was priced at R100 for the bearing but R795 I think for the housing and carrier both from agents. You could even do the rear diff seal at this point that connects the end of the prop shaft to the diff as well as a diff fluid change.
According to the WIS manuals, one has to remove the lower section of the exhaust after the secondary cats to get this job done.
