Absorber container?

I just purchased a 2012 C300. So I bought the car with front end damage and in doing so I am having to replace the front clip and some damaged hoses and what not. I came across something which is called the absorber container located above and back from the left drivers headlight and it connects via hose to a part above the power steering pump above, and slightly behind, the 2 pin plug is broken and I can't identify the part in order to buy the proper pigtail for a repair. I was hoping for some help in identifying this. I have attached photos of the part. Thank you in advance.

That connector may be part# 2035453928 "HOUSING SHUTOFF VALVE ACTIVATED-CARBON FILTER 2-PIN SLK2.8,Y58/1".

The purge valve should have the part# stamped right on it.





I find the Mercedes dealer parts dept has parts like this for a good price. The one near me I usually have to order the parts and wait a few days, they make me pay first. or maybe check ebay, may find a used purge valve with the hoses and connector still attached for a cheap price.
