Not much action over on the W211 forum...

Who's replaced theirs, and at how many miles?

I'm at 126k, and haven't replaced yet. Many people are telling me not to replace unless it goes bad. Thoughts?

If it's the same as the e55, the fuel filter and sending unit are one. 700 per last I checked. Be warned.

$950 at my dealer discounted to $800, which is why I'm asking if it needs to be done

From what I can tell, you are paying for a lot of wrist turning but not much skill.

These guys are pretty good at getting OEM parts for a good price. In this case I do not know the PN of your filter.

Yeah, you might smell like gas for a day, but that is the smell of $600.

LOL an E55 crate engine is $58,940!!!!!!!!!!!!
