I need help with 2 W202 parts (light cover and gas cap)

I need help with 2 W202 parts. I need to replace the right side (if you are sitting in the drivers seat) plastic cover of the overhead light.

I keep getting a fuel trim code for short periods, then it goes away. I read that it may be the gas cap. I'd like to change the gas cap and see if it helps.

So, part numbers and/or websites where I can order these parts would be great.


Thanks

A fuel trim code is a likely indicator of a mass-airflow sensor gone bad.

Thanks,


Anyone here have the CD so I can get the part numbers ?

Thanks for the heads up on the mass flow, funny, I think that was replaced once. It works most of the time then the engine light pops on but the car drives fine...is that possible ?

just go to the dealer theyll know which parts you need...they are common stuff not very intricate.

MAS goes fairly often, just a common flaw i guess.

the check engine light is usually triggered to something in the emissions system... but can also be faulted to the MAS, coil pack, etc. and it definitely could be the cap.
