1984 190D transmission cooler lines
Anybody got an '84-'85 190D 2.2l auto?
I was installing a radiator in mine today and got the distinct impression that the upper cooler line wouldn't fit right. It wants to sit right where the lower radiator hose has to go. I noticed that it had been zip tied in place previously and I think thats why the radiator leaked, it looks like it was putting pressure (and vibration) on the radiator tank. It doesn't look at all like the pictures on Peachparts or any of the other parts websites. If somebody had one and could take a picture (just straight down looking at the backside of the radiator on the passenger side of the car) that would be wonderful.

The upper line runs down towards the outlet then bends to the right around the outlet hose, under the hose and is attached to the lower portion of the radiator, then to the flex line.
I just completed a 5 speed swap on my 85 190D, so not able to send pictures. I have the lines if you need them, if yours is not the right part. Will send them to you at cost as they will end up in the scrap pile. |

So the line has a big bend in it at the bottom where it goes under the hose? Does it rest against the hose?
Sounds like mine might actually be correct...

I'll try to get a picture posted later as I'm pushed right now. The upper line runs down and bends toward the center of the car well above the lower line and radiator hose. The flex line connects about a quarter of the way to the center of the car and comes nowhere near the radiator hose. Last edited by Bob338; 06-18-2013 at 07:13 PM. Reason: Add photo |

Bob338 is correct, a picture says it all, much clearer than my memory!

Ah HA!
Perfect, exactly what I needed. For future reference (should I forget) the order of assembly is upper trans cooler line, lower trans cooler line, lower radiator hose. Then tighten lower trans cooler line, then upper trans cooler line.
