ADS plus shocks compatible?
Hi,
I need some technical advice.
I am replacing my rear ADS shocks as they are leaking fluid. I have a 2013 ML350 w166 with Adaptive Damping System with Skyhook 214.
The current shock part numbers are 1663200130. I know they have been superseded by 1663200930 but I purchased some slightly used 1663200500 (2015 GL350 X166 shocks), for what I thought was a good price. Are they compatible or have I wasted my money?
I checked MBEPC and the GL350 (Europe) have both 1663200930 (214 Adaptive Damping System with Skyhook) and 1663200500 (215 Adaptive Damping Plus) listed.
I also checked the plugs and they look the same even though they have a different harness on the shocks.
Any advice?
Thanks.

Check rockauto.com. They ship internationally.
Don't buy used shocks. It is only ever a bad idea as you can never truly verify use.
