Hello MBWorld!

Does anyone have the upper radiator hose CLIP part number? Local dealership can not find it and the clip likes to pop out and leave my car covered in anti freeze! This is such a bad design, has anyone else rigged something up thatll hold the hose inside the radiator neck?

mbonlineparts.com lists that part number as this. It could be the piece you need. Definitely cheap enough to try, right?

You have a completely different style connection to the thermostat. I have seen a lot of hoses fail with the newer style connection. Coolant will start seeping in between the hose end fitting, and the hose. Post a picture to seee where your leak is at.

Mine is the thermostat housing goes over the upper radiator hose. Is that the new connection you talking about? I know for older cars...the upper radiator hose goes over the thermostat housing thats why they used to use clamps to keep them together.
