Hey Longshore1,

I got the same problem. I bought the gasket at the MB dealership, less than $5 -- the $395 is for labor. I am not familiar with the E300D, but for my situation it appears I need to unbolt the engine at the mounts, suspend it with a hoist so I can shift the engine to the passenger side to get enough clearance to remove the housing bolts. I figure while I am this far along I will replace the oil cooler hoses. If anybody has done this procedure, then there would be two of us that are grateful.
