I need to hunt down a rebuilt or used PSE (Pneumatic Systems Equipment) pump. There's lots of W2xx pumps on ebay, but no R170 pumps.
Apparently on SLKs the issue is caused by clogged drain holes, not body seams like I originally thought, so hopefully its not that serious. On the other hand, lots of MB PSEs have failed for no reason at all.
I asked them to try to install one in the rear hatch so I could at least lock that (doors can be manually locked), but there wasn't enough room back there either. I felt bad for wasting their time but they were really friendly, so I'll probably return for other automotive needs later on. [AudioExpress in Manchester/Ballwin MO]
