Angry Add me to the list of conductor plate

2007 R350, would go into limp mode on occasion. Had it checked by my mechanic, he condemned the conductor plate. Surprise..surpise only the dealer can replace. $1,267 estimate and no date on when the car will be done since the part can only be requested if MB decides you've completed the 13 tests.........

This is a well known issue that if you haven't had to replace you will. Shame on MB

My wife's 2006 R350 has been at the dealer for a week now, need blance shaft, speed sensor and conductor plate. Extended warranty and mercedes are fighting about it now. At least the free loaner 2012 C300 allows her to get around even though she hates how small and bumpy it is.

Good Luck with your repair.

2006 R350 conductor plate needs replaced

So, are there any online dealers/websites even selling this part for my car?! I see that you can buy conductor plates from multiple online dealers but not for my model.... is it even possible to bypass going through Mercedes for at least the part?!
