This is a vacuum element for recirculating air on my 79 240D. It is located just behind the glove compartment. I have checked Fastlane and All Parts on this forum, and cannot find a replacement. All parts had one that was similar, but the metal arm was different. The MB dealer wants $72.
Does anyone know another source? Any help will be appreciated.
