Replacement coolant hoses for W210 E300 Turbodiesel? Any interchangeable hoses?
Hi all. New forum member here. I've been getting into the W210 chassis for the past year now, slowly restoring an E300 TD that has been in the family for 25 years.
It seems the only coolant hoses that are easily available for the W210 E300 are the upper and lower rad hoses. I was also able to find a Gates hose that seems to match the short one for the heater core return on the firewall (driver side on LHD).
Is anyone aware of a source for high quality replacement hoses? Or, are some hoses actually the same between W210 models?
Or is the move to just reuse old ones that I can't replace, and figure it out later if they start leaking?
I'm in the middle of replacing the evap core, and was planning to replace as many wear parts as possible in the process, so it would be a bit frustrating to have to put old hoses back... but they do seem to be in surprisingly decent condition considering their age. Thanks in advance for any help.
