The ones from Mercedes Source are good. You can also make your own if you have some welding equipment.

I'm looking for a good source for a set of valve adjustment wrenches.  Can you recommend a source?

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Oil Cooler Repair or Replacement / 99 E300 TD 316k KM

 


Try Tom H. @ Mercedes Classic Center or Phil @ fastlane Auto parts or Rusty @ buymbparts.biz .

Look in Moto cycle magazines as there's many places now that specialize in repairing mangled super delicate Moto radiators & oil coolers...

Benz wants $800 for a new unit and used units are inobtanium. Seems this cooler was used only on 98/99 E300TD and E420. Has anyone found an after-market alternative? Has anyone pulled the cooler and attempted a repair at, for example, a rad shop?
