W203 Power Steering Pipe needed

[lucashfw]

Hi, just had a power steering pipe fail on my car quite severely. Had it taken to my garage and they have confirmed Mercedes part number A2034604224, problem is apparently Mercedes no longer keep these in stock or manufacture them, I cannot find aftermarket anywhere and don't want to risk it with a used part. Does anyone know where I could get this pipe from?

Thanks

Getting concerned here. Spoken to 3 of my local garages and none will fit used parts - Have rung the 2 mercedes dealerships within my area and they are unable to source the part either. I hope this car isn't headed for an early retirement.. it's perfect otherwise

If the failed pipe has been removed, take it to Pirtek (or similar) and I expect they would be able to supply a new replacement part to correctly serve the purpose.

Contact an industrial hose supplier , once the original hose is removed a flexible braided one can be made with the correct ends (if possible) and easily fitted due to the new one being flexible.

Did the above with my old Saab when the PS hose split due to corrosion , the only issue was with the automotive fittings but i managed to re use the original Saab ones attached with compression hydraulic fittings.
