Hey guys! I am in the need of an oil cooler for the beast. Hard to justify paying $700 for one at the dealership.
part number is 211 500 0400
please make sure the threads are not stripped
if anyone knows of an aftermarket cooler I can use let me know
thank you

with 9 quarts of oil in new england do you really need one ? -- some folks remove them to make room for a larger heat exchanger. IMO you dont need one unless you are running cross country at super sonic speeds

Some remove them? I'm in the middle of a he install and this is intriguing..

how would one pull it off?

here is one solution,, the other would be to fab your own hose to replace the lower oil cooler,, there is still a secondary cooler with a fan on it... search around and let us know what you decide on

I would like to think if Mercedes installed it, its needed. dont want to start pulling parts. I do have an intercooler as well. Car is built

Bought 2 coolers in total. One from a member on here who ended up screwing me over big time with a broken part no refund c***....
then was messaged by eurocharged in TX who had a cooler sent over 2 day shipping. love those guys. The E is back on the road!!! Hell YEAH
