[W126 Coupe] Can someone help me with a vin number

[Eddie]

Right, those 'restricting tubes' are essentially WORKING cold air intakes,
which all the tuners are installing in their cars these days.  Not only does
it prevent hot air from being sucked into the engine, it also sucks away the
higher density air in front of the car, rather than from behind the
radiator.

 

I'd move onto another mechanic as well..is he a mercedes specialist?  Let us
know who it is so we can stay away!

 

I love the CEs, but they are just too underpowered, and lack the wide SEC
grille!

 

Eddie

Sorry for not answering your VIN question however my point was that you have
something wrong with your SEC and your comment that the mechanic thought it
was related to the removal of the "restricting tubes" wouldn't inspire
confidence in me.

I was looking for a legitimate answer on the VIN.

I think you need to find yourself another mechanic. Hope you get it sorted
to your satisfaction.

 

Matt.

My pristine '91 560SEC snapped a camshaft for the second time in less than a
month. Right before the last cylinder in the drivers side #8 as before.  The
owner/mechanic and I have speculated why? Perhaps because I took off the
restricting tubes to the air filter and it got too much air, probably not,
some people supercharge their car! There is no question that it is covered
by warranty with less than 1000 since the new cam but..... The loaner he
gave me is intriguing! It is a 1992 300CE and what a red cutie. Somehow I do
not think this minimal bumpered thing was made for the American market, can
anyone help with the VIN. It is WBDEA51D7NB652805. 

Thanks in Advance and Best Wishes,

John
