On my 2000 Clk 430 it's located on the front bumper lower section. It look like a small long cone and snaps into the bumper. Mine is modded with a different bumper so pics won't do any good but you can't miss it if you look in the open sections of the front bumper.

Although somehow you got help from a few W208 veterans, however, after reading though your prior postings, every one of your questions have been already answered (e.g. with DIY tutorials, pictures etc.).

Pleased understand that your newly acquired 16 year old MB is your now treasure, and that oldies comes with many numerous issues, most have been which have already thoroughly been covered.

I trust that you that you know that old MB, today, only worth 10% of their original price........sad but true.

The reason is that needed repairs are often more costly then the purchase price of an aged MB.

However, using the forum's search function 'is your friend'.

Please understand that when others post for HELP, (e.g.usually new bees) on topics previously covered, it just makes it so much more for difficult for others to use the forum's Search Capability.

Hint: In regard to your issue, had you taken the time to use forum Search, you would have actually received much more detailed information.

The sensor usually unplugs itself after a parking block indecent but otherwise it is in the front bumper cover and readily available on ebay. testing goes a bit deep here.
