1982 300 SD Oil Cooler Hoses Replaced
I got German hoses out of Miami from Mercedes 991 Seller; Ebay. They look fine and don't swivel at the joints like the old ones did. The installation is a PITA but I went slow and ended up with no leaks. I have two concerns that the 2 hoses don't join at the lower clamp and also the Bottom Hose seems a bit too close to Engine Mount and also the Engine Shock. I don't remember the olds ones being this close. The ends matched up fine at cooler and filter. I wish I had taken pictures of the original installation but forgot to. I have pictures of this installation but the files are too big to post here but I will try. I have requested another hose out of Miami. I will post pic here and see if it goes. Otherwise PM me and I will send over internet.
