Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, engine configuration, and chassis notes before ordering. Confirm the starter’s 10-tooth drive, clockwise rotation, and 12-volt specification against the original unit. On 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300, use the listed German-built or South Africa-built chassis breakpoints; on 2008 Mercedes-Benz R350, use the application noted through 09/2008.

Inspect battery condition, cable connections, and charging-system output before installing a replacement starter. Compare the original starter’s mounting and electrical connections to the replacement part to ensure correct application.
