Amazing that this would be discontinued, since it effects EGR operations, so is technically an emissions system component, right???

So my question is, what on these actually fail? Is it the actual valve itself (plastic), the inner rod that is in there, or is it just the plastic lever?

I found these:

Vacuum Valve Lever 3/2 Way
OES GENUINE Vacuum Valve Lever 3/2 Way,W0133-1640593 - PeachParts


That is supposedly the 3/2 vacuum valve lever for a w123.

If that is usually what goes bad, then it seems that there is a (pricey) part to fix it...
