Warning: I believe there was an early 1-piece line/hose which was replaced by a later 2-piece assembly. Or vice-versa. You will need to post a photo of the piece in question to ensure you order the correct part number. Austin did all the homework on this, I think I saved his photos & info somewhere, but I'd need to see yours first to figure out the part number....

The cooler itself isn't too bad, it's the three hoses that are expensive, plus the filter housing isn't cheap. And some of the mounting brackets really went up in price too.

Yes, and you should see the dealer price here!You had a crash with your 500E?! Dang!
Well no the AVA is not better than the Original one. Especially not when the Price is double of the OE. Buy the OE. ~450€ for the OE? Jesus is that thing expensive.
You can save even more if you buy the Oil-Cooler from the OEM in Germany. But i forgot the Brand unfortunately. We have done that on the W124 300E-24V and once on the 190E 3.6Brabus. Both times we saved 50% compared to the Mercedes-Dealer price.
Correct, the Hella costs 145€ in GermanyHello,
probably you have meant Behr/Hella, which seems to be the first assembly manufacturer. I've made an research and found this number:
Nr art: 8MO 376 725-431
EAN: 40 45621 24032 5
For OE number 1405000000
Standard produced by BEHR
Hope this should help in finding best $$$ vs. quality option.
Those are the parts. Check if yours are still Ok.Yes, and you should see the dealer price here!
Also, I need a new front bumper, ouch :sad:
Is the oil cooler attached with any specific parts, and is it fastened to the bumber or subframe? Any must-replace parts while at it?
Thanks Christian. Any of the shops in that link that are reliable and fast? It takes a week to get it from my source. I'd want to order for that low price, but I need them asap you know, plus there is a 5 year warranty by law here on such items.Correct, the Hella costs 145€ in Germany

Maybe, but I haven't made an order from Germany before. Need to know if reliable/fast. Christian?Those prices seem very high. Can you order from speed-autoteile.com in Germany to save a few bux?

I'd be greatful if anybody knows a supplier in Germany who's able to get hold of E500E parts and ship internationally. I'm going to need a few more parts, which probably would be a third of the price here. Shipping from the US often takes more than 3-4 weeks. So if anyone uses a reliable supplier in Germany or somewhere in Europe, please let me know.Seriously? You've never heard of these guys? They ship worldwide:

I've got two broken oil lines/hoses that goes into the oil cooler - left/right side. It is actually just the little threads inside the connectors that are broken (see the red lines on the photo).Found it. The line which wraps around the back of the oil pan was a 1-piece assembly, replaced by the later 2-piece assembly. Photo below.
The other hose is # 119-180-10-82 (not shown in photos).

Help: Right lever 124-500-01-81 for oil cooler can't be delivered by MB factory in Germany.
Correct. It could be a little messy... put down some cardboard, newspaper, and/or plastic on the floor...I have not looked where he pipes go yet but am assuming to the oil filter housing? I would need to swap the filter housing assemblies too is that right?
Sure, with appropriate hoses & adapters, I don't see why not... although it's a bit oversize for a trans cooler. The tranny generally does not need extra cooling capacity if you are using synthetic fluids, unless perhaps you are towing? The engine definitely benefits from the oil cooler though. I'd leave your engine oil cooler alone, and add a small auxiliary trans cooler if it really needs one.can we use the engine cooler as a transmission cooler?

How much difference do you guys think these oil coolers make in a cars performance or engine longevity?
