I’ve done the motor mount and then a year later did the oil cooler lines 🤣
Many quality “at home” repairs to my 82 300d turbo model and many thanks to Mercedes Source

[@MajorEasley]

I especially love your videos and Channel. Thank you for all that you do Sir.

[@donkizitookechukwu1037]

Good job you are doing Sir

Thanks for sharing!

That reminds me of an engine oil cooler for an old VW Bug

Kent. Are there any 1983 W123 280CE oil coolers still around ?

[@Mercedessource]

eBay would be your best bet

[@avivscrewvalla]

Kent, do you still sell Monark oil cooler hoses for the 240D and 300D (W115/ W123)? They were a great product but I couldn't purchase them from you last year. Many thanks!

[@Mercedessource]

Sorry, these are no longer being made by Monark. We are currently trying to find another quality source.

Do you have a name of a place wher to buy this oil cooler new I ordered one from California but now their saying they are out of stock and gonna have to cancel the order and need one asap as it seems impossible to redo the fitings in toronto dollar store mechanics 😢

[@Mercedessource]

Your best bet might be to try to find a good used one on eBay.

Hey Kent what kind of aluminum is the oil cooler made out of

[@Mercedessource]

Sorry, I do not know the specific alloy but it is TIG weldable.
