So merc want 80 quid for the following part A6420100591 which is ridiculous, and autodoc want 30 for the same part made by autlog. Question is, is autlog part oe?
 
I have used auto-doc many times but for non-easy to replace parts, when I've used auto-doc it's been with brands like Bosch who make the originals.

However, with the PCV, given its location on my engine I bit the bullet and paid mercedes their £80 as it's not a job I want to revisit any time soon, or a problem I want again any time soon.

If you're doing a DIY and comfortable with the work that's needed, I guess you can take the risk - but then if it turns out to be inferior you'll have to redo it possibly sooner than later.

It really boils down to risk -v- reward.
 
For £30 I’d buy it . It’s an easy diy job . You can buy 3 for the price of one MB one ;)
 
This might be good place to share a potential further cure of oil consumption... Someone our local MB forum found a video where PCV valve connection (seal) is actually worn and causing more oil coming to PCV...

Thanks for the advice guys.
I ended up buying the mb one. Its a 15 min DIY but was more worried about damaging the engine with an inferior part.

On a side note, do these engines commonly use oil between changes?
