a basic tune up on a 1990 300TE
 

do these prices seem reasonable?

Distributor Cap (W0133-1616883) $56.95
Spark Plugs (HR9DC) 6@$1.95 each $11.70
Rotor (W0133-1626366)$32.95

Total $92.60



Does that seem reasonable? Thanks.....cliff

I compare everything to:http://www.autohausaz.com

Your prices seem about average.....be sure to stay with copper core plugs on your engine-it was not designed around platinum plugs, as were the newer MB's.

I just looked at a rotor and cap at the above link the other week....I think they were a little cheaper. Of course you have to always consider the postage fees against the final destination. AZ isn't that far from me.

Hey Cliff....I just found this place and he offers the ultimate tune up kit for the 103 engine:http://www.mercedessource.com/node/498

If for some reason that link doesn't work, just go to mercedessource.com and look for the 'Ultimate tune up kit" for the 103 engine. His site isn't the easiest to navigate through, but it's a small business run by a guy who is fanatic about MB's. He leans more towards diesel and biodiesel, but there is plenty on his site for the gas W124, 103 engine.

I'm buying that tune up kit even though I don't need the plugs. That kit has all the things you were pricing plus more stuff. Personally, I think it's a killer deal.
