I paid about $400 over a year ago from Tom for US delivery.

Funny how my memory tends to halve the prices paid for things over time. Hell, if I wait long enough, I remember stuff has having been nearly free......

I've not compared my new set that's still in the spare parts bin to those on the car. How do these compare to the originally-installed parts?

ahhhh - humor (or is it humour?) - so that's why they call Austraila "down under"???;)

I am just curious from the "originality police" standpoint. These are MB-made parts, and I wonder if they took the time to duplicate the originals, down to the plating on the ferrules, etc.

THey are close, but not exact.  Those in the picture have zinc plated crimped collars.  The collars on the originals are more like an adonized yellow finish, and they are smooth, ie without fluting from the crimp tool.

They are a bit more heavy duty than the originals.... As s class mentioned, the original ones have anodized aluminium collars.

Quite frankly, these new ones appear superior, even though the anodizing would have looked slick.

Also, the original hoses have a rough texture.

those new version hoses will never leak again with those kinds of fittings.


Looks like they did something right for once  8)

This is an old thread that's come back to life, the entirety of it is worth a read.

My hose were repaired, new hose but using the old screw on ends but I suspect one is already leaking. either that or leftover oil after chain tensioner leak fix. Possible reason is the new hose is smaller OD and doesn't fit the ferrule very well.

I have a spare set of old hoses, I might take them off and get a price to make up a set using current size hose and appropriate crimp on ferrules.

As I mentioned before the current ferrules look identical to the pictured set and as MT says they will seal for life if they are crimped correctly.
