Took a closer look tonight at the hose assembly. Definitely needs to be changed to make this work....
After some hunting my stock suction hose /w fuel cooler: PN # 103-130-17-57 shown below: (for future researchers replaced by 103-130-38-57 followed by 103-130-32-57 all same unit same as photo below)
Superceded to 103-130-53-57 (THIS looks like its the one I need) shown below:
Note the longer line that bends around towards the top of the original condenser:
Versus the superceded part # that is shorter and simply bends at a 90deg angle to go to the new location of the outlet.
Interesting enough I just noticed something...
It seems that as of 1990 onwards, they ALL use the later model condenser. If you plug a 1990 300E and a 1994 E320, the condenser has the same part # and the same location of the outlets. I guess then that in fact contrary to common knowledge, models with R12 between 1990-r134a introduction had the best systems! They came with the later condenser (is it even any bigger now??), the dual fan set up and the sweet R12
The ONLY thing that changed with the r134a systems was the Nippodenso 17cc compressor. That's ALL! I am going to guess that they only replaced it because at IDLE R134a was struggling hard so to compensate, they gave it a boost.
