I located a good used rear end differential (2000 C230) which I hope will work with my 1998 C230 (bad differential). Mine is a L4PFI DOHC
16V and the used one is LHFI (16 V???) (both made in Germany). Are they interchanagable/exactly the same or not? Neither are Kompressors. Was 2000 the last year before the Kompressor was introduced. I am confused what is German and what is US made. (or Canada/Mexico??). Are all engines the same between 1998 and 2000? Thanks.Larry
