Working on replacing water pump on 98 E320. It has an oil cooler.

I wondered if anyone might have a new or old connector hose that they could measure. The part number is 1122030382. There are two and they are shown in the attachment (items 83 and 71) I just need the one at the pump.

Reason for request, is that I can't find the MB hose in Canada. Amazon have a URO, but they say it is .595" (15.113mm) ID. I have 200psi 5/8" heater hose that is 0.625" ID (15.875") and despite being bigger than the URO, it is a very tight fit and may be hard to install. My originals are still on car, but may have to be cut to remove. Before I do that I want to be sure I have replacements!

I realize this is a long shot request

Ignore above request - I got the old hose off without damage.

By the way, I bought a thinner walled 5/8" heater hose that has the same dimensions as the original hose (the 200psi hose I had was too stiff and larger in diameter) Couple of bucks for a foot! I switched to gear clamps because this hose didn't seal with the original spring clamps.

Are you saying a local dealer cannot supply the correct hose?

Yes. That little hose is apparently NLA from MB. Only source seemed to be URO. Their hose was not in stock here and besides, cost was about $15 for 2" of what is just 5/8" heater hose. Which is what I used.
