2008 E350 4matic; 1986 500SL
I ordered these parts from my dealer since i was going in today for my 39K transmission service. I was't expecting the dealer to install them but they did except for the accelerator pedal. Serv. advisor said the accel cover was short by half an inch and, if used, wouldn't allow the pedal to travel all the way?
Anyone else hear this or has a similar issue?
Anyone have the part number for the W211 version even if it costs more?
Thanks

Is the accel. pedal a complete pedal and then you take off the cover on new and place on old? This is the only explanation I can think of for the advisor to say "it doesn't fit". Thx

Finally got my pedals. Easiest work I've done on the car so far!
One question for you all: Following the OP's instructions, what beer did you choose?

I just got the pedals today and it took me about 15 minutes to install them.
Probably one of the best and cheapest mods you can do to your car.
Will post pics soon.
P.S. All the dealers in my area told me that the accelerator pedal will not fit properly and that I had to buy the entire assembled pedal. Well I ordered from the website mentioned above, got it in 3 days. Fits perfectly, and I did it on 2009 E350 sport.
Thank you for the DIY, was really helpfull

2007 E350 4Matic
My original brake pedal was starting to wear down and smooth out on the right hand side of the pedal so I wanted to replace it.
Just did this to my car. It is a 2007 E350 4Matic. The parts I ordered:
170 300 00 04 - Accelerator (round rubber nubs) - $18.98
170 290 01 82 - Brake pedal (round rubber nubs) - $16.68
230 430 00 84 - E-brake pedal (oval rubber nubs) - $10.64
Shipping was $12.99 from parts dot com from IL to CA.
The mismatching ovel nubs and the circular nubs does not really bother me. Took me about 45 minutes to do. My finger tips are still raw from pulling those rubber lips around the bare metal pedals.
The easiest one to do was the E-brake. The brake pedal was a PITA. The accelerator was the 2nd toughest.
The new accelerator pedal came with the entire accelerator pedal and the plastic backing. I needed to peel off the new AMG pedal off the one that was shipped to me and slap the new AMG pedal on the old plastic backing. Could not figure out if I needed to take apart the entire accelerator pedal assembly...but finally figured out that I just needed to slip the new pedal off and slip it on to the existing plastic backing.
All in all it was a cheap mod and it looks good. It looks like my pedal setup from my old Honda S2000 (sans the clutch pedal).
Thank-you to the original poster who brought this to our attention.

Aluminum pedals installed!
Thanks to all who provided advice throughout this thread, I just updated mine. What a difference! They look great with the sports package interior and against the black carpet.
I ordered the OEM pedals from the dealer and I ordered the ones that all have the same round (not oval) rubber dots. Here are the part numbers I used (from this post):
170 300 00 04 - Accelerator (round rubber nubs)
170 290 01 82 - Brake pedal (round rubber nubs)
203 430 00 84 - E-brake pedal (round rubber nubs)
The difference for the e-brake pedals is that the 203 430 00 84 part number has the round tabs and the 230 430 00 84 part number has the oval tabs.
EnzoSLK did a great job explaining the process in the preceeding thread, so I won't do so again other than to echo his comments. Brake pedal being the toughest physically (stretching the rubber lip over the metal pedal), and the gas pedal taking the longest.
The parts cost me, with tax, over $140 here in Canada. You guys are getting a serious discount, especially with our dollar now worth more!

Anyway, love the upgrade and here are some before and after pics (excuse my messy garage) -

When you guys are installing the brake covers... are you getting the right side of the pad over the medal too, or just a U and leaving the roght side over it?
How are you stretching the right side of the pedal over?
I got the left side first... then the bottom.. a little of top.. used a small flat head to pry the rubber around.. but can't get the right side because of the shape..
How are you getting the right side over the metal?

BenzboyW210,
Your old brake pedal looks like mine before I replaced it with the AMG pedal. Mine had a bigger smoothed down area and I was glad to get rid of the old brake pedal. Thanks for clarifying the different part numbers for the E-brake with the oval vs. round nubs.
MB4tronic,
You just have to struggle with that stupid brake pedal and stretch it for all it is worth. I just remember it was such a PITA to stretch it and to make sure it was properly positioned at all four corners. It took me several attempts and many, many curse words before it was properly positioned. I tried the top left and top right side first and then moved on to the other corners one at a time...and just kept on struggling with it. All I can remember is that my fingertips stung like crazy after I successfully got it positioned. It was such a relief to get it on there. As a last resort, I was ready to reach for some petroleum jelly and smear it on the bare metal pedal and slip the pedal on that way. I dunno if this would have worked as I finally got it on. Best of luck to ya. Just don't give up.

Once again, EnzoSLK said it perfectly...
"You just have to struggle with that stupid brake pedal and stretch it for all it is worth.

That pretty much sums it up. Pretty much just brute force. Don't be afraid to apply force to it, the pedal cover is tough. I didn't want to use a screwdriver or another type of pry tool as I didn't want to risk ripping the rubber lip. Just used my fingers and some creative curses...
IIRC, I put the top edge on first, made sure the sides were aligned and then pulled both bottom corners down and outwards at the same time, and slipped the bottom corners on.

Yeah, the old pad had worn through to the metal and I had actually worn some paint off the pedal and there was a tiny bit of rust there. I treated the area before installing the new pad cover. I think these will last much longer, not to mention looking 100% better!

I installed mine this weekend.
The brake pedal was actually a major PITA to get on. I had to apply a lot of brute force to stretch it and put it into place. I started on the right side and stretched the left side to fit. Eventually it went on. Just expect it. It might be a PITA for you too...
As for the gas pedal. All you have to do is remove the top pin and the slide the old pedal off, and slide the new one on. I actually had some difficulty getting the pin out, too. The end of the gas pedal pin (center console side) is one of those that you have to pinch to get it to actually go through the hole. I did this with pliers. Meanwhile I took a very small flat head (a medium sized won't work) and used it as a lever on the door side of the pin. This popped it out and it was smooth sailing from there.
I have seen some people say they removed multiple things to remove the gas pedal cover. This is completely unnecessary. Removing the single top pin and sliding the pedal cover on/off from the top is all that is necessary.
For what it's worth, I ordered mine from someone on ebay called germanparts who sent me all the pedal covers in Mercedes branded bags and everything w/ legit part numbers and such. Good buying experience in all.
