Early 80s 126 V8s (thru MY '87) have OVPs that should work; not sure that W116 even had an OVP. S-class experts will know for sure and can correct me on that. Why do you think that you need an OVP?
Somebody said in an earlier thread that the OVP was there to protect the ECU and ABS relay if the car was jump started with reversed polarity He therefore suggested that the OVP could be removed and the socket jumpered, but he didn't say how to go about that. Anybody have any ideas on how to do it.
