Anyone used this? I need to replace the brake booster on my 190E and this part seems to be unobtainium. Autozone and Advance list it, but when you try to order it says not available for order. O'Reilly, Pep Boys, nothing. Summit lists it, but with a ship date in September. There's a lone used one on ebay (no pics) from a car with 150k on it that would actually be marginally more than Rock Auto.
If it's a couple of weeks that's fine, if it's 3 months that's a problem.
Sounds like someone should start rebuilding these from junkyard cars.
There are 5 LKQ yards an hour or less from me and there are precisely 0 190s. They've become hard to find, be it running or in a yard.
You just might have an old school rebuilder in your nearest large metro area who does stuff like this. With some searching you can find shops still around to rebuild CV axles, starters/alternators, even shops that still reline brake parts and clutch discs.
For example, a quick search in my area brings up Power Brake of Metro Denver, you just might have a similar shop in your area.
Can you get a rebuild kit?
I did an on line search for a booster re-builder when I though I'd need one done. There are a number of them out there. I found a company in Cali. that even had one in-stock so a quick turn around if I had needed it.
FYI. I did a quick search on the first link for MB 190E, I just picked a random year and they had one in-stock.
These are two that I found:
