The oil tube part number is the same as it is in the photo: 119 180 03 66. That's the PN that was in my car although the TSB says its 119 180 02 66.
Some discussion: Why the hell isn't that part just a single molded tube. What's with the plug in the end??? As a design engineer for 41 years, that design is just waiting to fail!!! Putting in an end cap that can blow out!
Since Mercedes issued a TSB in 1995, that means that this part is (and has been) a problem! So why haven't MB improved it?? Enough of that soapbox.
Bought the car three (3) years ago, and have had no major problems with it. I use 20-50 Valvoline every 3K miles.
