Diesels typically had two pans, including one for the tranny, while the gassers had one just for the engine. At least, thats with my limited knowledge of some W124s. They play an important role in aerodynamics. Jaime On Sat, Mar 23, 2013 at 10:49 PM, Dan Penoff d...@penoff.com wrote: Not

Look it up in the EPC and give me a number. I'm not saying it didn't, just that there is nothing in the EPC that I can find indicating there is one. Maybe we are talking about the same thing, that is, the cover that is aft of the engine cross member? I haven't put mine on yet, so I can't tell

For what it's worth, the smaller pieces aren't that bad from MB. My forward belly pan has access covers below both of the driving lights, both of which were missing. I ordered replacements from my dealer along with the lanyards that keep them from falling off. They were about $6 each and the
