I've learned, from my Indy shop, that I need a part seemingly unavailable new.

Specifically, the valve regulates oil flow to the oil cooler in my 1982 300SD. Roy / PeachParts recommends that MB stopped manufacturing it in 1985, and my best resource is salvage or this community. I'm looking for PN 6151840032..

I'm quite interested to find a solution as soon as possible.

Any ideas!

6151840032 this came up listed as a Valve Seat with an MSRP of $4 from the Mercedes Dealer. The source I looked at did not say if it was something that they stocked.

Is part# 80 the part you are looking for?

There is a thermostat in the housing that opens and closes with oil temp.
Maybe that is what they were refering to? Looks like #86 in Diesel911 picture.


Could be the thermostat opens and pushes against the spring and other parts and opens the valve. think it`s a plastic piece.

911,

Yes, that's the part I'm searching for..Got one?

Charlie, I'm not sure if it's plastic or metal, but I'll ask my indy.

I have one but I am keeping it. I have access to another one, still on the parts car.

If you determine to pull the other one, let me know! I am in need. I hate the thought of loosing access to this great 304,000 mile vehicle due to a $4 parts failure.

Is the part still $4? How long does it take to pull?

The parts price is lasted listed at $4, but it's no longer available! So the price is yours to set! I've no way to measure your time / effort in recovery. My Indy recommends that it took him less than an hour to remove the oil canister, but some say this is a difficult job in a space restricted zone.

I await your valuation!

The part is available.
