Obtaining a Genuine Mercedes Interior Parts is not as easy as in the past anymore, the recent bewildering choices of optional equipments as well as customized vehicle has necessitated a new way of Replacement Part ordering system. Unique individual color coordinated interior including special model version would play a major contribution, luckily meticulous computerized database records could come handy, yet ordering a particular part might not be your typical leisure DIY job either.
As the day of Spartan dark 
interior has become long gone, Replacement Part now takes longer delivery time. There is no doubt that minimum inventory stock has the obvious cost cutting measure benefits. But it is not as fun when you have to provide your chassis or VIN upon making the order.
interior has become long gone, Replacement Part now takes longer delivery time. There is no doubt that minimum inventory stock has the obvious cost cutting measure benefits. But it is not as fun when you have to provide your chassis or VIN upon making the order. A Genuine Mercedes Interior Parts such as the turning knob to actuate inflow air ventilation on a 2003 A Class requires at least two weeks delivery time, it also apply for any other Replacement Parts regardless. 
Whether this particular car requires a major automatic transmission overhaul or just replacing a mere small piece of rear suspension bushing, the time being off the road in the garage workshop has seemed to be in a perpetual extended version for weeks or even months.
Imagine the sort of gigantic parts inventory that we need to carry just for a competitive automotive sports event; better yet, stick to your trusty Old Car for Beginner Rally Car.
The fact that it is a special version as an A160 Avantgarde model has indeed complicated the matter further, as its interior differs to the rest of other similar A Class. The Avantgarde is fully equipped with all the latest passive and active safety driving features available to the bigger sibling Class where as its interior receives special wood panel at mid section.
Any car being garaged for more than 5 months bounds to face the risk of missing its hard to get part. Somehow a few months later while the A160 is yet still in another garage the broken vent knob finally reveals its unfortunate fate. The rotating knob has sadly lost its half portion edges; it simply stays on at its place, rendering the vent at its full open position regardless.
Taking care your own Mercedes is obviously always a priority but trusting the car to a reputable Mercedes Specialist precedes everything else.
Fortunately the cost for the replacement knob does not as damaging to the wallet; at least not as damaging as it requires replacing its 18 clutch plates out of 36 plates from a major automatic transmission overhaul work; the kind of work which was initially miss-diagnosed due to improper diagnostic equipment as well as improper installment procedures.
The A Class is notoriously venerable to transmission failures. Whatever type of transmission!
