Date: October 10, 2001

Order No.: P-B-47.20/17

Supersedes:

Group: 47

SUBJECT:

Model Year 2001/ 2002 - C & CL (203), SLK (170), SL (129)**, CLK (208), E (210), CL (215) and S-Class (220)

Up to Model Year 2000 - C-Class Hard Starting After Fuel Filter Replacement

If you encounter instances of hard starting after fuel filter replacement on the subject models, the cause may be the newly installed fuel filter. On fuel

filters with integrated fuel pressure regulator, part number 002 477 30 01, insufficient fuel pressure may be caused by deviations in manufacturing of

the filters, resulting in an increase of crank time. Only filters with a production date between 27.06.2001 (06/27/01) and 17.07.2001 (07/17/01) may

have this characteristic. PDC stock has been purged of any affected filters.
