So I'm pretty OCD about my engine bay and I noticed there is this broken clip that connects one of the coolant overflow hoses to another hose parallel to it and also keeps it from getting caught up in the radiator fan. It's located right in front of the radiator Unfortunately the piece with the part number is long gone and this is all I have in the photo and then I took a Sharpie to trace out what I believe the rest of the clip to look like. Any chance anybody out there has this part intact and can get the part number off of it? Even the dealer cannot help me I physically took the part there and they could not find it on their microfiche. I apologize in advance for my extreme ocd!

Well, took a second closer look at this bracket and it is darn close but not quite right mine has one small and one medium size clip although this is pretty darn close and at least is pointing me in the right direction. Really appreciate it.
Im going to drop the front under tray and hopefully maybe the broken piece is floating around down there under the radiator and I can get a part number off of it. Will definitely report back

Go to the online Mercedes-Benz parts catalog. I don't have the link on my phone but I have a bookmark to it on my computer. If you do a search for it you should find it.

I have never found a decent Mercedes parts lookup online they're all generic with fuzzy images and almost impossible to read. I would absolutely love if you have some sort of better link. Appreciate you researching this...yeah I'm sure this is used on many different Vehicles mine actually has three different sizes under the hood....one has two small hoses, one that has two medium hoses and then there's this one that has a small hose and a medium hose. I'm still intending to drop that under tray to look for the broken piece and hopefully there might be a part number on it but we have a hurricane barreling down on us down here in Florida it's been raining for 3 days straight

Botus thank you very much! That part number you provided is actually something else I need it holds the hood release cable underneath the cross bracket/cover above the radiator.
these plastic parts just don't hold up under a hot engine bay

they are total fools - they hide the rubbish all across the various insane locations so fool once dreamt up
how about the air filters sit alongside the inner body panels for the front end
clips

can't find the others - they have the odd clip next to various bits of the car but there is another big list

First of all thank you so much for the reply we got hit with a hurricane and tornadoes down here so I've been jammed up. I can't get a visual using that part number online but it sure looks and sounds promising I'm planning on heading to the dealer next week with my old clip and that part number and go from there even if I have to make the dealer go out to my car and look under the hood they're just lazy on the phone! I will definitely report back

I have found the parts techs really appreciate it when I come in with part numbers, diagrams, and last eight numbers of the VIN in hand (VIN is a must!). Makes their job easier and faster. If you can, learn their names and interact with them. It's harder to say "no" to someone with whom you are familiar; instinct is to assist your acquaintance. It works for me and the parts tech I primarily work with is a great guy willing to go above and beyond for me locating parts anywhere. Worked for me last week when I thought (erroneously) I had all the parts quantities correct. Juan corrected my quantities and ordered them for me. Picked up the parts a few days later as a very satisfied customer with everything I need to bring my car back to tip-top condition (sans $793).
