You'd get a lot of use from a MB Technical Manual - it lists all the
models, engines, trannys, torques, and much more - it's only about
5x8 but it's almost 1 thick and has everything you'd ever want to know -
The official title is/Technical Data Passenger Cars/ - I think I
ordered it direct
The EPC used to give you all that data, plus a lot more based on the VIN.

Coil packs. Never thought of them. That must be where the spark plugs are,

Any ideas on the other questions?
Coil pack, or what some domestic manufacturers call COP or coil on plug are
nothing more than individual ignition coils that are typically mounted directly
on top of the spark plug.
To get to a spark plug you merely disconnect the wiring harness connector to
