Hi can anyone tell me where I can buy the four oil cooler pipes that go onto each side of the radiator on my 463 300gds auto?

Mercedes is silly money and over a weeks delivery.
Could do with them sooner, and cheaper if possible :cry:

One of the pipes broke (corrosion) when I was driving at 60mph, lucky I heard the ticking from the engine and noticed the oil presure gauge at zero,shut it down right away, oil was everywhere, wings runningboards, engin bay was compleatly black with oil, back door even! someone must have been watching over me that day! Engine is ok, started and ran fine when we filled it with oil again.

Guessed I might have to get them at merc. The other ones are corroded so Ill renew them all to be safe.

Thanks for the reply anyway

Bill

other option is to take the pipes to your local hydraulic pipe company. do a yell .com search. they could make up a flexible set for you at a fraction of the cost.
