R129 - plastic corrugated pipe protection disintegrated
- Thread starter R129mine
- Start date
Hi,
The cable the pipe "protects" is the output from the alternator, so it needs a bit of protection given the way the cable is routed.
Mine has disintegrated too: It's on my "to do list".
Kind regards,

Thanks. I thought it led to behind the alternator. Just purchased this from Amazon. It is 5mm on the inside which I think matches it perfectly. https://amzn.eu/d/dPxvYsz
It comes in silly length so I will have a few spare meters. I can post some to you if it works afterwards

Replaced the corrugated pipe with a 15mm one from Amazon, ofcourse now the blue jaw clamps all broke into a million pieces, i have one good one left, it is blue, I cannot figure out which part this is, looked on the MB parts website online but could not find the correct category
I did find a few candidates, as the corrugated pipe is 15mm i think 15mm or 17mm clamp will work okay, the sl shop have these available and i think the most right one is 15mm so that should fit, the original ones are kind of oval shaped.
I mean i could zip time them also
Filthy job to do btw, my engine bay is pretty clean but this is all in areas of the engine bay I have not had the pleasure of working in before and it needs a good degrease!!
