[W126 Coupe] 1994/95 S500's

[Richard Hogarth]

Satish, 
As our MBs age, the plastic caps and covers that hold the electrical
connectors become brittle and fall away. 
Where can one get these plastic parts; especially the ones that go onto the
air idle valve and other CIS connectors. 
Without the plastic caps and covers, wires are easily torn and polarized
wires are easily confused. 
Any thoughts? My local dealer says there is no way to get that stuff from MB
or Bosch. (but the guys running the parts dept. are so young that they have
never even seen a 126 in the dealership.) 
Thanks,
-RPH

Wiring issues are on ALL MBs produced from 1991-1995ish.  Get a 1996 S600
with ME engine management and a 5-speed automatic transmission.
