The W124 monovalve is not repairable, you must replace it complete. Usually the seal fails, just like the W123 except that it's a rubber fitting instead of a diaphragm, but I've also had the coil go bad. In either case there are not parts, it has to be replaced complete. Peter

Part number prefixes are meaningless for the most part. In many cases they’ll cross over between chassis numbers over time, so the prefixes are irrelevant at that point. That’s like some of my W111 parts having 108 prefixes. -D > On Jun 9, 2019, at 8:10 PM, OK Don via Mercedes wrote: > >

OK - my memory is slipping - it's the R129 that is based on the W124. The R/C107 is based on the W114/115. Part numbers. When I owned both a pair of W124s and a C107 I noticed several 107 part numbers started with 124. When I needed a pair of new rear axel half shafts, I ordered them from Rusty -

The mono valve requires 12v to keep it closed (heat off). Any disruption to the current going to the valve (coil) will allow it to burp open (e.g. bad connection, bad solder joint, etc.) During normal heater operation the valve is cycled open and closed to regulate temp. The repair kit just
