E500 007

Hi guys

We drove this vehicle for the first time after it had extensive repairs and sent to us from a family member up north.
After a few drives the coolant waring light came on and the motor lost all her coolant.
I discovered after limping the last 1 km home that the spring clip holding the hose into the rear engine block was missing and the hose and nipple had shot out. This is the hose between engine block and heater radiator behind the firewall.
assume that it wasn't clipped in properly.
Tried all the scrap yards but can't find this spring clip.
Merc sell the whole fitting in the engine block which I don't need, just the clip.

Any chance I can get this elsewhere as it seems to be a standard item used in other applications.

Don't have a picture as it's hard to get my cell phone between firewall and engine

Thanks guys

However a used one of the matching hose A2048302296 shows the clip you speak of :

So this is the clasp holding in the pipe on the firewall side. Where will I get one of these ?
