271.948 Pistons?
Hey guys,
So I recently had the timing jump on my 2003 C230 Kompressor 1.8L and I'm trying to rebuild the motor but I can't find any pistons...I mean, I found some for $260/ea. but that's way to much money for me to spend right now.
Do you guys know where I might be able to find an aftermarket brand or even something used? I need 2 of them. I don't understand why its sooo hard to find...

As far as the pistons, google "trademotion Mercedes" and you will find several wholesale online MB parts departments from several MB dealerships from around the US. Search their website to find the proper parts an you will save a bunch over what a local dealership has to offer.
