Help reading my Data Card?
« on: June 29, 2015, 15:09:09 »
I'm wondering if someone might be able to help me decipher two boxes on my data card that I didn't see listed on in the explanation pages of the club's Data Card Information?

In the second row, on the right side, on my card there are two numbers - 256 and 745. Perhaps the first means Limited Slip Differential? If that is correct, then what does the second one mean?

Thank you for any assistance you are able to provide.

Kind regards,
Roland

Go to TM see soft top colour codes? Beige? To match your beautiful cognac upholstery...

Interesting. So they put the color for the Soft top next to the code for the Limited Slip Differential, or did I read that one wrong?

So it looks. If you take a look in the TM at Data Card description, you will find it there.

Yes,  the soft top colour next to limited slip diff.   Its the same on my data card and the codes were confirmed by the Mercedes Benz Classic Centre.
