Where to buy cam sensors/wires on-line???
I've got the dreaded cam sensor leak starting on my m271. I've tried a few places on-line (AutoHaus Az and a couple others I got through Googling ...) but I'm told these are 'dealer only' parts. I also tried a couple import auto places in my (small) town, but they can't get them either. I'd like to take care of this ASAP. Can anyone tell me of an on-line source to get these goodies??? Any MB dealers do parts on-line now that Duval is no more? Thanks in advance!!!

google "trademotion" and "mercedes" to find dealers that sell online.

Thanks coin and c230. Sent an email off to Duval and actually placed an order thru a place in Florida (Ft. Laurderdale) after Googling trademotion & Mercedes. Got an email back saying that I need to get ahold of them, so we shall see .....

Duval used to be good, but after they quit the trademotion subscription, I
did order some stuff, but it took weeks to get it, through Steve Foster.
Then I ordered tranny fluid and some other stuff through Autobahn just 50 miles away, and they too sat on the order for a while, so
it'd be nice to know if there's someone out there that will process orders quickly, haven't tried Ft. L yet, but they also are pretty inexpensive.

My guess is that they have to order from MB and depending on if it's available it could be a day or I've waited weeks from my dealer locally. So it may take weeks but you don't know if it's because of them or MB. When I'm in a rush, saving a few bucks doesn't matter. Cam sensors are very cheap anyway. Also, if it's worth the trouble, you can haggle with most dealers parts dept. Also, see if your salesguy can buy it for you and give him cash.
