Water & Breather Pipe Sleeve
Author Last Post
Good afternoon.

I'm now replacing all water hoses on my #1285 and I found that rubber sleeve that is covering water pipes bellow intake manifold (above the water pump) is heavily cracked. There is number A 007 997 77 82 on it and it's easy to purchase new from MB.



The issue is that there is no such number listed in any W109 part list. I'm afraid that someone has already replaced it with a portion of incorrect hose.

The only part I believe should be used is A 008 997 31 82 (NLA). Luckily there are 5 available from eBay right now.

PS: I just get test results from Koller+Schwemmer and my injection pump has failed on oil barrier leak test. Replacement one will cost me 4599EUR + 2x298EUR for cold start valves repair (both are leaking). What a nice day ...
