Spare Parts List
This section is part of Documentation.
With a new car the owner received an illustrated Parts Catalog (Catalog "B") showing the spare parts that were available for that car at the time of delivery. However, these booklets did not identify parts by their part numbers, such spare parts lists were only available to Mercedes dealers and authorized repair shops. The ID number of lists with part numbers starts with 10 (10XXX) and when buying those in the secondary market one needs to be careful to distinguish them from Parts Catalogs that start with a 12 (12XXX).
The first complete illustrated spare parts list for the 230SL (Edition A) and subsequent editions listed chassis parts and engine parts but those for the 250SL/280SL cars do not!
In addition to the international parts lists shown above another set was issued for the USA market that included parts present only on cars sold in the North American market. Here is an example:
Note: With arrival of the 250SL the parts for the M129 engine and later for the M130 engine in the 280SL were issued in separate lists, they are no longer included in the spare parts list for the cars!
Caution: This M130 spare parts list is valid only for fuel injected engines, another list (M 130V) covered carbureted engines!
Spare parts with part numbers for the automatic DB transmission for the W113 cars are covered also in a separate list:
All of these printed spare parts lists are no longer available from the factory but some of the lists are available on a CD-ROM from the on-line web-shop at the Classic Center in Germany.
