Euler is correct

even stater is good - if you check with a Ohm meter, it almost will shows dead short,

Today I got a new starter motor, i check with my DVM is goes to 1.704 ohms then shows 0.000 - and this starter is working (rebuild one)

Before I install it in the car I have to do few more thing, fix electrical short, replace some relays and fuses then remove glow plugs and inject some oil then turn engine by hand etc.

will update you, soon - but give me some time, i have to keep working to feed my family

Use your electronics so no coding is needed and change the engine mechanicals only.

He would have to find local in the Toronto area. Anything crossing the boarder would make it expensive. Duties & Shipping would cost as much as the engine itself.

Try searching from CA. My US zipcode may have cut out CA results.


Yes, you can search CA, but only found 2009 and 2011 engines. (I bet they would work)

GL350 2011
I posted this elsewhere, but http://www.ebay.com/itm/151593061676?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT have a good reputation.

The EBAY picture looks good, anyways, and the price is great ($5,250.00).

I've ready on UK forums that rebuilt OM642 (with a warranty) are between $4k and $6k, so this seems right on the money.

This is an exchange price, so you'll have to send the old one back. I don't know what the taxes/duties will be for your situation, but certainly not THAT much ($20k!!?!?!?!).
