[surina777]

i know there is realoem.com for bmws...

is there something comparable for mercedes? and where is the best place to get oem parts for mercedes' (online source?)

my mom's '96 e320 def needs rear rotors and is doing this weird whiney thing when we are accelerating...and theres not too much power...

any of you merc guys have any ideas what it could be?

https://epc.startekinfo.com/epc/home.jsp is a Mercedes EPC. You have to register though, but its free.

As far as parts, theres not as many places as there are for BMWs, but http://www.autohausaz.com/ is a decent place. There are more out there though.

For the acceleration problem, can you be a little more specific?

Sounds like you might want to bring it into a shop and have them take a look. If you're getting a weird sound upon acceleration and not much power something more might be wrong with the car. Poke around MBworld.org for parts dealers. The only places I'm familiar with carry stuff for my w203.

we cleared the cel today and just waiting to see if it comes back...codes read a misfire at 4mph ...we think spark plugs need to be replaced

thanks guys for the online resources!

PO of my car said he had the same problem before he swapped spark plugs, and we have the same engine.
