My SL320 has developed a leak from the transmission oil cooler pipe that runs underneath the radiator - it seems to be very corroded (part A129 270 20 26) its about 8-10mm in diameter. I have been down to the local stealership and they want a whopping £311 for the replacement!!
It's only a pipe about a metre in total length with flared ends - is there any reason why I can have one made up (aluminium or copper)? does any one know someone who can make one in the surrey area (or further afield & post it)? Can I buy a flaring tool and correct threaded retainers?? -- Any help appreciated
