Decided to go with the B1 kit and a rebuilt valve body.

I have ordered and received the B1 kit. Mercedes does not sell rebuilt valve bodies anymore, only new ones. I finally found one for $275 at German Star, but they need the P/N off the old unit. So last night I dropped the pan, got the number (126 270 86 07) and ordered the valve body.

Stay tuned.
