Flywheel Position Sensor (FPS) replacement
 

1986 560 SEL

Would there be a replacement or substitute for the FPS?

I'm thinking along the line that a $40 mustang O2 sensor will sub for the $150 mercedes O2 unit and wondered whether there were viable alternatives to the hard-to-find Mercedes FPS.

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

Not a good idea...IF nothing else find a good used one!..Parts like that Don't interchange from brand to brand..

HOWEVER almost any MB from 1986 to 1994 uses that same sensor with a different length wire. Even a 4 cylinder 190E 2.3 uses that same sensor..different length wire.
