And have found a lot of used ones on Ebay ranging from 20-130$. After spending a lot of time looking through that, what makes me unsure is that the same part has been pulled from older vehiles i.e. a 1998 CLK or 2002 S class and im not technically experienced to know if that it will work on our cars.
Regardless, the stealership way is definitely out of the picture here. I`ve currently booked another appointment at a private Chrysler garage on Tuesday just to see if i will be getting the same diagnosis. If it comes to that i`ll replace it with one from Ebay and hope it will solve the problem. Do you guys know if this part requires any programming / VIN match in order to work ? All i know is that after installation (with the battery - unhooked) i need to reset the indicator through a diagnostic machine.
I am a bit late but the part shown in the photo is the same part as on my SRT, same two sets of numbers I can just see the part as I have the radio out.
These parts have a slightly different numbering system to the normal Mercedes part. The parts starting 001 are parts common to many cars models and do not start with the series number of the car for which they were initially made. They could be a common screw or nut etc.
