A quick search yield the URO aftermarket hose, which I am hesitant to purchase, unless they are the OEM manufacturer. Any suggestions? Is this hose available in the US, where aircon is more common?
Thanks!

I will be villified for saying this but I have had URO Radiator Hoses on My 84 300D since 2007 and they have been fine.
The only issue I had was one of them (I think the upper one) went on tight around the Radiator Nipple. So if I need to remove the Radiator I would leave the Hose attached to the Radiator and remove the Hose from the Termostat Housing.
However what URO quality was like in 2007 may or may not be the same now.
My Coolant Bypass Hose is Myele and has also caused no issues.
With any coolant Hoses if you can remember when the Hood is open take a quick look.
