Could you put one off of a 123 on your car? I have two extras of those. Max

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

 

Seems that the oil cooler leak is not just the lines. Losing .5 to 1 litre of oil each 1000km and am concerned that leak may worsen at speed, causing loss of engine. 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?

[diesel_mercedes] Bought the wrenches.

 

Paid a chap to set the valves down south, sounded really good for about 6 weeks, but now it sounds I am driving a tractor, ordered the wrenches so that its not too hard for swmbo to set the valves up right. Will do em next week when the wenches are here.
