AWESOME! Sounds like you're cutting my parts bill in half as these suckers are expensive - MB list is ~$205 each. AutoZone sells a Bosch unit (#13638) for $139 each, but the lead time is ~1 week. All the other major parts houses in the area are quoting similar price/delivery. Apparently, this Bosch part is used only mid-90's Mercedes, so unlike spark plugs, etc., it's sort of a special order kind of thing. Guess I have to wait until next weekend to see how this saga plays out. Thanks!
Cheers,
Jeff
