Tell them you have a 2003 MB SLK32 with the 3.2L Chrys....ahhh AMG Supercharged Engine.
They'll have the info lickity split - then you can call your Chrysler dealer and they can cross reference the MB part number to the Chrysler part number, Chrysler can then order it from MB for you (about a weeks time) - place their label over the MB label and charge you twice has much then if you had purchased it from the MB dealer direct.
Don't cha just love these Chrysler's...................
As much as i HATE Mercedes, after i couldnt find any info at my local dealer i went to the Mercedes dealer and tried to find the part. The one in Maitland, tried to help but didnt have the part in stock, so he called the one by the Millinia Mall for me. They said they had it in stock so i went to get it. Once there, the gasket was the wrong one (flat paper gasket) and i asked if he could help look up the right one. I told him i had the 3.2 supercharged engine and he told me that Mercedes never made a 3.2 supercharged and that the only supercharged engine that Mercedes made was a 4cyl. The guys name was Jason in parts.
Long story short-
I had a check engine light yesterday and took it to the dealer. After having my car all day, they told me that the gasket was ripped and blamed the aftermarket intake for causing the rip, so no warranty repair. After searching both local Mercedes dealerships for any kind of help, i went to a used car lot and almost traded for a Roush stage 3 mustang, but just couldnt find the heart to actually own a Ford. Thank god this forum provided a part number, cause god knows my local dealership is worthless.
