It is not strictly necessary to replace the ignition coils unless they are showing signs of wear or failure. However, some people choose to replace the ignition coils as a preventative measure. We like FPCeuro.com to get the parts from.

Spark Plugs:
OEM Part Number: A 004 159 71 03 (Mercedes-Benz part number)
Alternate Part Numbers (from other manufacturers):
Bosch: 0242240646
NGK: SILZKFR8D7S

Ignition Coils:
OEM Part Number: A 276 906 10 00 (Mercedes-Benz part number)
Alternate Part Numbers (from other manufacturers):
Bosch: 0221504856
