In Brazil, do you have junkyards with Mercedes from the late 80's through the 90's? SLS came on a lot of models through that time era and they all used the same valve. All of the wagons through that time, and a lot of the higher end sedans had SLS. That would be the cheapest way to find one. I have an extra, but shipping might make it pretty expensive. You can buy a new one from Pelican Parts for $458. Otherwise you might be able to find one close to you on ebay. You can always get one through the dealership, but get out your wallet, and prepare to leave your arm and leg as well.
You might also be able to find a shop that works on Mercedes, and they might have a way to get one for you a little cheaper than shipping if from the US.
