SL550 Power Steering Pressure Hose Problem

Hi guys,

I have a hose that needs to be replaced in my car. According to my technician, the line goes from the power steering pump to an "accumulator" and I believed the part number was 2304604324 but it isn't. I have attached the picture with both the incorrect hose (the one with tags) and the one I need (without tag). It would be awesome if anyone can get me the part number of the hose I need.

Thanks in advance!

Allan

2007 550SL Power steering pump and hose diagram

Please have a look at the diagram at the link below,

If it's #6 that will be your return line. Part number 2304604624

If it's #7 that is the pressure hose. Part number 2304604324

These are the only two hoses connects to the pump.

Hope this helps, Good luck.

Mike


EDIT ***** Perhaps they got the correct part number but send the wrong part? *****

Thanks. I have looked into the return line part (#6) on ebay but the part looks different as well:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-09-SL550-SL55-SL500-CLASS-R230-POWER-STEERING-FLUID-LINE-HOSE-TUBE-OEM-/320968351292?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ASL550&hash=item4abb345e3c&vxp=mtr
I was hoping someone can identify the correct part number with the line/hose in the top part of the picture that I attached in my first post.

Allan

Note: the part they sent me was indeed the correct pressure hose.

Did anyone provide CORRECT part # for top item in first picture? This is high pressure line from pump to accumulator block for abc suspension. Mine leaks and dealer ordered wrong too.

Pm sent, asking others for an assist please...thx
SL_57 06:53 PM 12-27-2013 Did you ever figure out the correct part number for the hose that goes from the pump to the accumulator? I also have an 07 SL550 and also bought the wrong hose! The dealership doesn't seem to be able to figure out what hose I am talking about, but it is the same one in the top of your picture. Please let me know if you have the correct part number.

I had the same hose (230 320 41 53) spring a leak. Is this a difficult job to replace? Anything special need to be done before removing or after replacing? I’d appreciate any input. Shop wants 3.5 hrs labor at $122/hr ($427 total labor).

it was tight, but doable, the fitting at the pump i used a torx bit and ratcheting box end wrench I think.

Sorry to revive a dead thread. But I'm having issues routing the new line where the old one sat on the valve block. It's like a puzzle I can't figure out, and Google isn't being very helpful. Would u happen to still have your sl and could maybe take a picture of this line? Any help would be appreciated
