In working on my car, I discovered that this panel is broken. It attaches between the muffler and the trunk. If someone could furnish the part number, it would be much appreciated. 2016 E350 Sport, RWD LHD
I broke a bolt for the trans pan yesterday, and rather than me screwing it up trying to extract it, I took it to the trans shop that I use, so the car isn't immediately available to look at and compare the parts. The trans shop has way more tools and experience with broken bolts stuck in the aluminum castings than I do.
Okey dokey, your year production code is 806, meaning year 2015 built.
So we use Code 804---> after code 804, which is year 2013 and up, basically the facelift.
AI pulled the broken part out tonight, and there is a part number on it—A 212 328 02 86.
The part number is available here: https://mbparts.mbusa.com/oem-parts/...ver-2123280286, but the website says this PN does not fit my car. Indeed, a 2016 E350 is not listed. I sent them my vin # to verify fitment. Also, they say that the part description is COMPRESSOR and the parts group does show to be some compressor.
That helps. As far as I can tell, it does nothing but take up space under the car. Your first picture in the post Oct 1, 2025 11:31 PM looks exactly like mine. I wonder if it has the same part number?
If you think the current damaged one P/N is good to use, order the same P/N and tell seller you take the risk of mistake and no refund.
As far as I know, official USA MB dealer would not want to sell/send you parts their EPC deemed as incorrect to your VIN. I guess they do not want hassle of return.
Very good. I know for sure the correct part number, so it's not a part # lookup without knowledge of the correct one. Part ordered.
I also need the front left wheel arch cover that was also damaged. And that was ordered as well.
Both of these parts were damaged by me turning left too sharply out of my driveway and almost going into the drainage ditch at the street on a dark night. Can't blame the wife for that!
One more thing. There are 3 of these large black screws. I do not remember where they belong. If you recall, please let me know.

Metal screws or nylon nut with wide flange ?
A photo of them on you hand would be nice for size perspective.
Ohhh, that one.
That one is very likely from below, that is always easily loose. Its the noisy screw...LOL.
While you are down there, inspect the same "wood" screw of the exhaust tip decoration piece, 2 screws each.
Whenever you see these type of self tapping screw, guaranteed in our car its female counterpart would be plastic parts of the car or those cheap metal female clip like below
There is another location using that screw. But it is a bit smaller size. The sound/heat shield hairy black one, the longest one under the car.
============
The noise maker bumper to heat shield.... that is why that screw there is easily lost.
