1992 MB 400E questions

Zack1978 · 04-11-08, 05:46 AM

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any experience with the 1992 Mercedes-Benz 400E? My cousin has one that needs new "rotors" or whatever they are actually called. Basically the car has a seperate "rotor" for each of the 8cyl's. I guess almost like a dizzy for each cyl? Is that true? The shop wants $1,000 to replace each of these 8 parts, to make the car run great again. Any idea what I am taking about? Can we do this job by ourselves? And this car is the ultimate sleeper, it will blow the doors off of most other cars on the road, esp highway passing power!

Thanks,
Zack
