Hopefully no one takes this as a thread hijack, but I think I'm adding information.

I too have an occasional rough idle that was cured for a little while by cleaning the delivery valves. There are at least 2 folks on this forum who have cured rough idle shakes by changing delivery valves, Cho and Eaton9999.

I've acquired some delivery valves but am having a rough time getting the copper washers. Received email from MB Tampa yesterday that the seals, 0000741759 are no longer available.

There is a listing on ebay where the guy had 7 delivery valves, 1418512008; He should have 2 remaining. I received the other 5 yesterday; still sealed in the box and covered in wax from Bosch. $21 each. Just do a ebay search on item 151371124151.


Looks like i'll need to get the copper washers from Bosch. Any sources for them that anyone is aware of? I don't believe I have a Bosch service center in close proximity.
