Having trouble finding correct turbo coolant lines
2013 GL550.
Blew a coolant line the other day, finally got around to removing enough of the front of the engine to get to them. Started to order and I cant seem to find the same lines I have.
These look okay on my passenger side:
And both of my drivers side look like this:
However fcpeuro, rockauto, etc all have this weird 2 piece setup for the other side with like a hoseclamp and a huge plastic piece that goes onto the water pump, or some have a tee that comes right off the turbo and heads in different directions, aka "left" and "center" in the pic below:
My hoses look exactly like the "left supply" above, just one is a little longer and goes to the other port on the turbo. They both have small plastic pieces that tap into the water pump in the front center of the motor.
Anyone happen to know a part number for the drivers side turbo coolant supply hoses that match mine?
you still doing sleeves and rebuilds of m278s? I'm in need. Got the fuel balance code once and stopped driving it. Scoped cylinders and #5 has scoring of course. Now what? If you're onto other things is there anyone else? I found a place in CA but they're more about turning it into a race car than just sleeving.
you can see on my water pump i have 3 separate water ports each with their own bolt each having their own plastic "port" that went into it. The diagram posted above still shows a pair of drivers side lines (supply/feed) one of which the passenger side "piggybacks" into and then theres a return for the passenger side on the far side of the water pump. mine are all individual no piggyback. was there like a water pump update or something that came out? or ive seen some parts websites stating "option code"
welp contacting fcpeuro, rockauto, etc all got nothing. went to dealership and after parts guy pulled up same diagram as above he talked to the service tech who knew exactly what it was, even had a part number in his phone. pulled it up. $180 later I have my drivers side hoses. Apparently drivers side is notorious for cracking and the passenger side doesnt so they didnt have any passenger sides in stock.
