Every car, even your beloved Mercedes, will eventually need replacement parts to keep running in the best condition. But what do you do when a part on your car malfunctions? How do you source hard-to-find parts that you can trust will work well in your Mercedes?
Adsitco is here to help. We’ve put together a list of the parts that people most commonly need and guidance on what to do when those parts break or need replacing. This list of the best-selling Mercedes parts will give you an idea of the kinds of maintenance you can expect to perform on your Mercedes.
Brake Pads
Perhaps predictably, brake pads are some of the most commonly replaced and popular Mercedes parts. That’s because they are crucial for maintaining your safety when you’re on the road.
There are a lot of signs that your brake pads may need replacing. So when it’s time to get new ones, or any other part of your braking system needs repairing, you can find the part you’re looking for.
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter ensures dirt doesn’t get clogged in your fuel injectors. So having a clean and well-functioning fuel filter gives your car more power and even better gas mileage, ensuring smooth engine performance.
Once you have bought a new fuel filter, replacing the old one is not too complicated:
- First, unplug the fuel pump’s fuse or relay.
- Then, after locating the old fuel filter, unscrew it. There’s always a possibility that the fuel lines will spill or squirt excess fuel, so it’s a good idea to wear protective eyewear and have a drain pan on hand.
- When you put the new filter in place, make sure it’s facing the right way so that fuel can flow through it properly (usually, there’s an arrow on the filter that should point toward the engine). Reattach the fuel lines.
- Finally, reattach your fuse or relay, and your new fuel filter is installed!
Spark Plugs
Spark plugs are one of the hardest working components in your Mercedes, working under extremely high heat and being used every time you start your engine.
Some signs your spark plug may be nearing the end of its life are if your car is having trouble starting or if there are irregularities when you drive, such as sudden accelerations, a lack of acceleration, or even if your gas mileage is suffering.
Because they are so important, spark plugs are some of our best-selling Mercedes parts, and you can find a section of our catalog devoted exclusively to spark plugs and their wire sets here.
