so does anyone have a part number for the yaw rate sensor? does peachparts sell? I searched on both sites for yaw and no parts returned.

Ok this part costs a lot. $500 to $600..

I went to a wrecking yard because the repair shop said it was very rare for one of these to go bad..

Based on that I felt secure buying a used one. I bought mine used for $85.00

parts planet
sacramento
800 783 4911 they ship..

Took less then 15 minutes to replace.. If you have a R170 mail me at arlt@comcast.net and i will step you through it. Nothing to reset or adapt just plug and hold on...

it really seems like this is a common occurance. I was even talking to an MB service advisor and he said he was shocked this had not been addressed with a service campaign.

Im the second guy that has had his go bad in over 6,000 members.. it is rare... Considering they use this part in several cars.. my used one came out of a ML...

Here is a picture of the part.. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/Chris-A-album/yaw.jpg
