So Tom Hansen was at Pagodafest and I put the heat on him. He explained how the parts computer system worked and that the downpipes are listed under a specific code meaning they are in production. He thinks they are a few months out.

Van Dijk mounted a complete original/Eberspächer exhaust one month ago, no issues with stock/supplies.

This is exactly what my MB dealer is telling me.

The PN number you quoted is not front exhaust part, it is the central piece that was there before.

The development is about the LHD front exhaust pipe - this is the one is missing, I ordered 2 years ago and its development is about to finish soon, hopefully, but is not yet finished.

The PN will change, but it is not the one you quoted.

So we keep waiting for the front pipe.

Thanks and Sorry Pawel. Correct part number is A1134900920. The waiting is the hardest part! Seems like I've heard that before.

No problem. So I understand they did not say they had the front pipe available? They said they had the central one, correct?
