Pressure Converter Solenoid 98 E300D?
Does anyone know where I can find a used "Pressure Converter Solenoid" for a 98 E300D. This is the vacuum solenoid that controls the wastegate on the turbo. Its mounted on the lower side of the air cleaner box. I believe this car has at least 2 of these solenoids, one for the wastegate and an exact duplicate for actuating the EGR valve, and perhaps another controlling the transmission.
Phil has new ones but they are $132 ea.and stealership is even worse. I'm wondering if a 320E of same vintage uses the same solenoids for EGR and transmission.
Part # is: 000 545 04 27.
I also need a wastegate actuator assembly including the rod for a KKK turbo for the same car. Mine no longer holds a tight vacuum. Don't need the entire turbo as mine is still good but the actuator can is rusting thru. Phil says no part # for just the actuator since it only comes with the turbo. Must be some sort of a substitute somewhere since it just bolts on to the turbo.
Need to take a cross country trip soon and any help would be greatly appreciated.
