Well there is always a first for everything. I have a talent for finding firsts. Or the Broken Car Gods like me.
Good catch on the broken part. Can the linkage part be separately parted (if not new, maybe an assembly from a recycler)?
Well I have been searching, found just the linkage for about 100 on ebay. At this point, I would rather replace the entire valve body. I have seen refurb units for about 200 to 350$ Going to the dealer/Mercedes the valve body is about $1500. Does anybody have any experience buying a refurbished valve body that does not cost an arm and a leg?
