I had my replaced, I found the part online at a reduced price in the dealers at Mercedes-Benz. I just did a search with the original Mercedes part number for the chain. And as I recall it was under $100. If you have a mechanic that knows how to do it on the Mercedes-Benz you're better off. It was done in one afternoon and I think my total investment with parts and labor was like $700.
