Mercedes-Benz Codes in German and English

Page optimized for 800 x 600 screen resolution .?V 2.5 June 5th 99

Compiled list of codes from various sources like MB sales brochures.

!!! This is beta version 2.5 so the small letters a and fm are internal markers for me for the source of info only !!! !!! and there's still things missing like jump marks and the reference list for the model codes (e.g. W168 = A-class). !!!

XXX also are internal markers only with this beta version

(Very rough and short listing of models, longer list with photos will follow in some time, current models bold) W114/115=Middle class 1968-1975 (aka /8 and Strichacht) W116=S-Class 1972-1979 W123=Middle class 1975-1985 W124=Middle class/E-Class 1984-1995 W126=S-Class 1979-1991 R129=SL C140=S-Class coupe W140=S-Class sedan W163=M-Class W168=A-Class R170=SLK W201=190 1982-1993 (aka Baby-Benz) W202=C-Class (ends 2000) W203=C-Class 2000C208=CLK W210=E-Class (ends 2002) W211=E-Class 2002C215=S-Class coupe autumn 1999W220=S-Class sedan R230=SL 2001W460=G-model (aka Gel?ndewagen) W463=G-model (aka Gel?ndewagen) W638=Vito W638/2=V-Class

Please note that the meaning of some codes changed over the time:

E.g. code 212 which was Hinterachse Uebersetzung 1:3,92 / rear axle ratio 1:3.92 with W113 (230SL/250SL/280SL Pagode) and nowadays is ETS Elektronisches Traktionssystem / electronic traction support with S-Class W140 . In the meantime between these two series this code either was not used or stood for something else.

Abbreviations in capital letters at the end of the German description (e.g. code 411 Schiebedach mechanisch Stahl SSD/ mechanical sliding roof steel) denote the usual abbreviations in car advertisements used in Germany. Some of the options became standard during the time a car series was built (e.g. code 422 Servolenkung SV/ power steering for W123 became standard since the beginning of modelyear 1983). Codes in the form of e.g. 42/2 power steering W114/115 denote the older code system. The system was changed to the newer one (e.g. code 422 power steering W114/115) whilst W114/115 series was in production. Some options are not listed which have no code and were officially not available but only on request of _strongly insisting buyers_ (e.g. XXX).

Some colours were only available for certain modelyears whilst others were available during the whole time a series was built. Basically it's possible to get any colour - at least all colours from the German RAL colour-table - for every car series. Some special colours - e.g. these where the colour seems to change with the angle of the viewer and costs DM 11078,-- (no joke!! It`s denotion is designo-LCP) - are not listed.

Basically all cars can be retrofitted with any option which was available with the particular series (!!) - it's only a

matter of money and in some cases the cost can be far higher than the value of the car even with the retrofitted option. Take special care when a driver's airbag is retrofitted - it's not so uncommon sellers retrofitted the airbag-steering-wheel without the airbag-module in it: Always demand the original invoice from an authorized MB dealer for that retrofit. If the seller doesn't have it walk away - there are enough other used MB`s with an undoubtful past on the market!

A CKD-car (option codes 700 and on) is a Completely Knocked-Down car whose components are produced not in the destination country but shipped to it and put together there. A SKD-car is a Semi Knocked-Down car whose components are only partly put together and then is shipped to the destination country where it's being put together completely. Both types may have parts which are produced in the destination country so in that case these of course are missing in the CKD- or SKD-sets. CKD- and SKD-cars are exported to countries having high import-taxes for complete cars but much lower import-taxes for CKD- or SKD-cars. The assembly of CKD- and/or SKD-kits often is the first step into a regular car production in that country: You can train staff and find national companies to produce components to enhance the so called local content of the car. Often governments do demand foreign car producers to have a certain local content within the cars produced in their country.

Having said all this what is the benefit of this list? First you can check which options your MB has. Secondly you can check which options the MB you want to buy has - not all sellers tell you the truth resp. know exactly which options their car has. Third you can learn some German or English expressions regarding MB`s ;-) Fourth you can see if the MB was intended for use in another country than yours - if you live in Japan and your car has the option code 708 it originally was intended for the use in India and so the trim level as well as other parts like the suspension may vary from those of MB`s intended for the use in Japan. And fifth you can avoid to be cheated with cars formerly used as taxis or rental or hire cars - some sellers do not tell you honestly this former usage thus cheating by asking for a too high price, that is a widely common practize with taxiand hire-car owners. Not that such cars must be bad, but because of the higher mileage and wear they simply must be cheaper than cars used for private purposes only. Colour code 040 Schwarz / Black is the former German taxi colour (used until W114/115) and colour code 623 Hellelfenbein / Ivory since then is the actual German taxi colour stipulated by the authorities. Not only E- and C-Class MB`s but also S-Classes and even A-Classes can have been taxis or rental or hire cars! Since some years it's not uncommon cars used in Germany as taxis do not come with colour code 623 Hellelfenbein / Ivory but with any colour: For the time used as taxis they are covered with a special plastic wrap in colour code 623 which afterwards can be removed without leaving any traces. In other European countries the colour for taxis is not stipulated by the authorities and so these can have any colour, e.g. a car with code 450 Taxi International from Denmark may come in colour code 904 Dunkelblau / Dark Blue or any other colour but most likely was a taxi.

Especially if buying an European version MB having colour code 040 or 623 always check for hints like codes 450 Taxi International 235 Reifenfabrikat Continental bei Taxi / Continental tires for taxi 333 Sonder-Instrumententafel (Haube) mit Rueckruestdeckel / special instrument panel with retrofit cover 342 Anschluss fuer Taxi Dachzeichen / connection for taxi roof sign 355 Antenne auf Kotfluegel hinten fuer Taxi-Funk / antenna on rear fender for taxi radio 356 Antenne auf Dach hinten fuer Taxi-Funk / antenna on roof for taxi radio 670 Motor Restwaerme-Ausnutzung MRA / utilization of residual engine heat 921 Pflanzenoelmethylester-Ausfuehrung zum Tanken von Bio-Diesel RME / vegetable oil methyl ester version 922 Taxi-Motor OM604 D22 mit Leistungsreduzierung auf 55kw 75PS / taxi engine OM604 D22 with power reduction

to 55kw 75hp 931 Tandem-Innenspiegel / inside tandem rear view mirror 932 Behaelter an Fahrersitz links / box on left front seat 934 Taxi-Notalarm-Anlage / taxi emergency alarm unit 935 Taxi-Notalarm-Anlage Vorruestung / provision for taxi emergency alarm unit 937 Taxi-Verstaerkungspaket / reinforcement package for taxi 938 Funkgeraeteschalter und Mikrofon / radiophone-switch and microphone for possible former taxi or hire car use use.

Also check for former use as a rental or hire car and look for hints like codes

Taxis and rental or hire cars often do come with MB-Tex upholstery which otherwise is very seldom chosen by private European buyers.

Remember: Cars used as taxis and/or rental or hire cars need not to be bad cars but due to their higher mileage and wear do have a significantly lower market value than cars used for private purposes only .

Lucky you are if your car has code 994 or 997. What's that? See yourself below in the list!

Don't forget: The accuracy, completeness and actuality of this list is the better the more info I get from you The more people provide information the better the list will get in the future!
