Especially for the authentic restoration of historical ignition systems, original Bosch spare parts from older stock are particularly interesting.
Important note on item condition:
Due to age and storage, sometimes for decades, both the original packaging, if available, and the item itself may show signs of storage and aging. These include, for example, dust, light scratches, discoloration, or superficial corrosion marks.
Please observe the product images and the information on the respective item condition.
Fitment and Application
Before purchasing, please compare the Bosch part number 1 237 122 613 or the Mercedes-Benz reference number A 000 158 39 18 with your existing component.
Vacuum advance units for different Bosch ignition distributors can differ in terms of their mounting, adjustment characteristics, and vacuum curve. A visually similar design is therefore not necessarily interchangeable.
