The 560 does not have a frequency valve, it's all handled by the ECU.

I think you are looking for the connector that attaches to the oil level sensor. I have not heard of this problem and looked it up on the CD (18-230). This is a nasty repair. The connector is secured to the block with a locking ring and attaches to a wire that runs to the sensor which is bolted to the oil pump. The oil pan needs to come off. Then you remove the locking ring so that the connector can be removed by pushing it to the inside. Then it looks like the sensor, wire, and connector are replaced as a unit. Sounds OK so far, but in a 107, to get the pan off, you need to either drop the front suspension or lift the engine out.

Maybe the pros have another way to deal with it. I would ask that question on the main tech support forum, or of a good shop.
