I took off the T-stat housing to replace it on the 240D and the water pump housing on the 300TD. Go the T-stat housing route. MUCH easier....but make sure you have the gasket in hand.
Good luck!

Dealer near here had no idea what I was talking about with that hose...he said "this COULD be it, and it's $5." I'm not confident in his parts-looking-up-skills.
Local euro supplier quoted me $300 (?!!) for a one meter section...says it's a specialty part. Buddy mechanic says "just buy a standard hose and cut it to length."
Phil from Fastlane has it for $35, but I can't wait to get it...my car is still up on ramps!
I may try the standard radiator hose tonight.
