OE 1190101430 — Valve Cover Gasket for Mercedes-Benz

A supersession happens when the maker revises a valve cover gasket and issues a new tail number. The revision normally changes a small physical detail rather than the fit. Where we know a supersession chain for 1190101430 we list the current reference; ask our desk for written confirmation before a large order.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

Standard minimum order is 10 pieces per part number. Mixed orders that combine 1190101430 with other engine & fuel system references are welcome — that is how most clients fill an LCL or FCL container without over-stocking a single line.

Match three things: the code on the part you are removing, the build-year range in the Applications table, and the mounting points visible in the reference photo. If all three line up, 1190101430 is a confirmed fit. Send your VIN and our export desk will double-check the ambiguous cases.

Report it with the order number and packing-list line plus photographs. Because every carton is photographed before loading, we can trace the batch immediately and settle the claim against the inspection record instead of arguing from memory.

For a short distance at reduced load, usually yes — but the risk compounds. A degraded valve cover gasket transfers stress to neighbouring components, so a small repair can grow into a full engine & fuel system rebuild. Book the replacement once the symptom is repeatable.
