Isn't that the truth--it seems the ones for my car are mostly no longer available from Mercedes and the only brand offered anywhere is URO. The local auto parts store has Gates hoses that are supposed to fit, but they list them as fitting a bunch of other cars that use differently shaped hoses.

DON'T MESS WITH MY MERCEDES!


1967 W110 Universal Wagon, Euro, Turbo Diesel, Tail Fins, 4 Speed Manual Column Shift, A/C
1980 W116 300SD Turbo Diesel, DB479 Walnut Brown, Sunroof, Highly Optioned, 350,000+ Miles

Please NEVER install Uro parts ANYWHERE in the cooling system! I would seek out used original parts from a junk yard before I'd install Uro. I know of a very very nice low mileage 126 SDL that died a terrible death when the Uro lower radiator hose failed catastrophically.
