Hi, I am looking for a friend for this part. It is some kind of fitting for the rear Hydro Shock/power steering pump. Nolonger stocked by Mercedes. I will try to take a photo of it and post. Thanks Ross

Hey Ross

These guys are the best and get both old stuff and new model stuff replenished every day. They ship everywhere. Good luck

Thanks for the tip. I will give them a call, But I was told by someone that they are no longer carrying Parts for the older cars. This is a 1979 300TD. wagon.

Are you taking about the self leveling suspension pump

or

the power steering pump?

On the OM617 the power steering pump is propelled by a V belt, and the self leveling pump is driven by a shaft that comes out of the (engine) head.

The part number you gave doesn't match with any power steering pumps listed in the FSM - that's all (I was trying to work out if you wanted the 65 bar or 82 bar steering pump you see)

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

Army, Thanks for your reply. I think I posted this too soon not having a Photo and knowing what the part is and how its used. The Mercedes shop told my friend it is discontued and gave him this number #1162360016 and said he may be able to find a user one. My understanding is it like a washer or spacer.
I am going in the morning to take a Photo and see if I can get a drawing of it. Ross

Oh right - google to the rescue:-

It is for the self leveling pump - part number 14 in the picture in this link

It is some sort of connector between the pump and a cog(?) in the head - I don't know exactly what it is as I don't have self leveling suspension (which is just as well 'cos that would be in bits too)

If I were you I'd ask the sponsors of this forum if they can help - you never know.
