10 C six trizzle

sorry to get off topic but there is no gas cap sensor. there is however a fuel tank pressure sensor. back on topic, that is definately rape. amg rotors usually last atleast 50k unless they actually drive there car hard regularly or track it. usually youll get 2 sets of pads per set of rotors.

@karkid... is this corporate mb dealer?

their prices are much higher than even franchise mb dealers... which are higher still than the indies that spec on mb. with the cost so high, i suggest you shop around.

Up until about a month ago the CDN dollar was worth more than the USD.
