You may be wasting your time looking locally - try autohaus.com and germanautosupply.com (as well as Amazon - but they steal your identity and kill butterflies).
You want a Bosch 0 261 210 170
The Mercedes number is 003 153 27 28
Use either of those numbers in a search on those sites and you'll be fine - don't let it bother you that it won't mention fitting a Crossfire.
Sorry about the butterflies....I could get it faster and a bit cheaper from Amazon. Bought 2 to have one on hand against a future failure. Successfully started car and checked that codes were cleared. Made it 46,779 miles on the original, hoping for the same or better on the Bosch replacement.
Could not (would not) have done it without support from this forum. Thanks to all for direct and moral support.
