I saw this on Craigslist in London ,Ont. Sounds very interesting and rare. Thought some of my neighbors in Ontario might be interested. It is a bit pricey though.

A call to Mercedes with your VIN number will answer that. The part that's replaced is a plastic throttle bushing. The original bushings fail from age and heat and I recommend that one be carried in the glovebox of ALL 201 and 124 diesels. I had one fail only a few months ago (hadn't had one fail in 4-5 years). I believe that every one of the bushing on all of my cars HAVE now been replaced and only one of the replacement bushing has failed again (the replacement bushings are plastic vs the rubberized original part that gets soft when heated). For some unknown reason, the exact same part with the same characteristics in a similar environment used on 201s were NOT recalled - but they failed in exactly the same way.
