Engine Oil Cooler
Most posts re engine oil coolers for the 2005-2011 MY SLK55 AMG are old so I am starting a new thread.
Only 9542 of these cars were built so this would explain in part why the factory discontinued the radiator style engine oil cooler MB Part Number 171 500 01 00.
To be clear, there are no parts that can be substituted according to MB both through my dealer and through a check made by MB Canada through Stuttgart.
Presumably with a lot of engineering something could be done to fit something else but if I can find this part as NOS I would prefer this route.
If a new part is not possible I would be happy to get one that has all its fittings in tact for the oil lines and capable of being refurbished.
I am also running out of sites and companies to contact for this part but am open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks.

If you can't find one new, I have a used one in perfect condition that I am removing from a 2005 SLK55 that I am parting out. Feel free to send me a note at Latemodel21@yahoo.com Cheers, Chris
This worked out as best I could expect thanks to Chris. Great guy to work with and I would recommend him if you need help.
Thanks Chris.
