I do not have a factory repair manual. So i do not know which front cylinder (driver or passenger side) is the number One cylinder in my 2001 E430?
Thank you in advance
Btw, different info on google showed the front cylinder on either side as number one cylinder which is very confusing!

Thanks but no thanks. Your six year old will be very confused as to which diagram is correct. Of course I previously found this from the internet as well, but the different diagrams show conflicting information. The first diagram for 113 engine showed the P side, but the next diagram for 4.3 L engine shows it is the D side. Which one is correct. The mercedes service manager at the dealership said it is the D side. The mercedes mechanic at an independent repair place said it is the P side.


I need someone with a factory repair manual for the 2001 mercedes E430 to tell me which side is the front cylinder number 1 cylinder? Thank you in advance

(Dont quicky disrespect people. Dont always trust the internet. Always double check and cross check, and dont get angry when someone fools you, and I do not like smart-*** comments and any dis tasteful " likes" from strigoi. Dont quickly diss somebody)

btw, I went with the P side front cylinder as number 1 10/17/19). i also sent strigoi to wish him luck selling his car and told him I do not like his distaseful "like" for a disrespectful message.

This whitetrooper guy is a joke. Looks like loden338 is another sensitive little fella as well.

I guess I may be mad at the world too if I was too stupid to figure out how to Google a simple question.This guy took the time to PM me over "liking" a comment that another member made.
