I did the exact same thing on my 300sd and it lasted at least 50K or so and now i need to do it on my "new" 300sd. But I don't want to leave it open while I head over to the hydraulic shop and buy the 3' of hose......
Thanks in advance?

If I had it to do again I would go with Parker Hose. The GoodYear Slip Fit is inelastic.
I bought 1/2" ID GoodYear Hose and could not stretch it over the first barb. The next size up is 5/8" ID. But that is on a W123.
You should really measure your Hose Barbs and decide.
About 5 months ago I did the same to my Chevy Van Oil Cooler. I used 1/2" ID Parker Power Steering Hose sold at AutoZone.
I tried to use the 1/2" GoodYear Hose that I could not use on the Mercedes but found that the 1/2" ID Parker was a tighter fit.
I ask Autozone if they sold the 5/8" Parker Powersteering Hose and they said the did. Sold by the Foot.
