It won't take any longer than trying to monkey the after market junk in. If that doesn't fix it remove the servo and replace it cost would be the same as after market junk. Of course if your cheap buy a used Porsche servo and rewire it for Mercedes it 's the same one with a different plug.

I fixed both of mine in a weekend and they both work flawlessly.

I just bought two complete aftermarket(Dana) CC setups for $12, beat that.

I've used these a bunch on other vehicles, we'll see how they are on the Mercedes.

My experience is .. Fix it right and fix it often.

I was at the local yard the other day and wants to make a deal on the CC amp in an 84 SD. The parts guy says he has an entry in his books that says that you need the matching plug or relay or something from the same car in order for it to work.

Anyone know what he is talking about?

Never heard of such. A 14 pin amp is a 14 pin amp as far as pluging and bolting in. There are different amps for different cars. About all I know for sure is an 83 SD and an 83 SEL gasser used the same amp.
