Could you check my engine ID#?

Hi,
I just received a replacement engine for my ML320. I am wondering if the ID number can be analyzed for information about it's previous life. Here it is: 112942 30 589655.
Thank you,
Sam

I tried my best by looking through M/B EPC, but couldn't decipher their eng. coding, but I do not think it is an 2002 or later eng..

That's more than I knew how to do. Thank you. I wish they would put the VIN on the engine too. It would be interesting to get the history.

Did they tell you what model and year the eng. came from?

For selling theft engines, they are supposed to tell you the vin# of the veh. it came from.

They said it came from an '02 ML320. I didn't ask for the VIN but I could and will. I know it tells a story..

It is between 1998-2000. Most probably mid 1999 engine.
