The X-Part parts finder shows ELT000070 and ELT000060 as being available and orderable from 'your X-part Distributer'. In fact there is one of ELT00201 still shown as available with a German dealer.

I do note that my 2000 and 2003 V6's do not have the problem, only the later (2005) V8! Maybe something changed in construction or material around facelift time? Older scrapyard "stock" could possibly still be intact?
