Clarification: Airmatic pump replacement
Hi, hopefully a quick and easy question.
Can someone clarify what parts i will need to swap out a 1999 S430 airmatic pump for a new A2113200304 replacement item:
The garage selling the pump's part dept have told me its a direct bolt on, but my local specialist & the DIY guide (http://www.nicedeals.co.uk/blog/diy-...p-replacement/) linked to from here shows that there was a design change in one of the air outlets which requires a replacement pipe of some kind?
Can anyone shed some light?

2. the piping change will depend on your current setup
here is a pic from amother thread of the pump for your car.Refer to post # 2. It has the "new" design. make sure yours looks like this.. pay attenetion to the rear view, and the electrical connector.

That picture in #2 is of the same part that i have posted above, and is the only pump available to buy now. Where my question lies is that i know there is the design change (see the DIY guide for a pic of the old 1999 style pump) to the air outlet, but the parts supplier insists its a direct bolt on which has got me confused. My local specialist said that there is a modified pipe for the fitment of this new revised part to the W220.
Hence the thread, i would like to clarify what people who have performed the swap had to order to complete the job
