If we were talking about a newer MB I'd agree. The older MB's have a much more durable sensor, and because of the way it's mounted, isn't as susceptible to engine heat.
mdg404, try this. Use a heat gun on the ignition module to rapidly warm it up. See if it stalls out sooner than if it were to be left alone. If it does, you may try applying some dielectric grease to the mounting surface of the module. This is a simple, cheap, and definitive test, and it may buy you some time to shop around for a deal on a replacement unit.
