I am after a part for my 2011 G55, VIN: WDCYC7BF4BX187574

It's located on the passenger (RIGHT) side and this hose goes from the cooler that sits inside the front bumper into bottom fitting of the radiator (just above lower radiator hose connector).

See the picture of cooler and hose I need.

Anyone can help me locate it? I can't find the darn thing on any parts websites and have emailed 3 dealers

Further looking into this.

In the picture of my cooler, I can see that it's actually two units.
Top one has coolant hoses going into it, bottom oil lines.

With that being said, I believe it's the part #4 - PN 463-270-14-96 from diagram at Trans Oil Cooler for 2011 Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG® | MB Online Parts

If anyone could confirm this, it would be wonderful

TIA


EDIT: Found another diagram, hose listed under 175 with following description:
From cooler to right connecting point. From transmission to air cooled oil cooler, right. From radiator to right air/oil cooler.

Points to same PN, 463-270-14-96

I'm not finding it anywhere online either. You might look into going to a hydraulic shop and just having a new line made, especially since you still have the original for them to get the appropriate length and fitting styles. The cost will also be significantly cheaper, and if it's a reputable shop, the quality should be on par with or exceed anything from the dealer.

I'm somewhat baffled that the part doesn't seem to be available for an 11 year old car, but seems to be a clear indicator of where things are going in terms of MBs promised "125 years of parts" philosophy they've abandoned.

Josh, it is actually PN 463-270-14-96
You can see it in diagram above, under 175. Local dealer confirmed

As for having local shop make me a line, well I tried that. It threads fine into cooler but not on the rad. It started to mess up threads. They told me it's a metric fitting (of course) and they couldn't help

I checked EPC again and found it as well, priced around $90.

Really? They couldn't help because of metric fittings? I know the local shop I used to go before I started making my own could make hoses for SAE/NPT or Metric. Unfortunate, but I guess I can't blame them if they don't have a market for metric fitting hoses.

So take the fittings from both ends, and get them fitted to a new high presure hose ..look for a hydraulic shop and get a new one made up. Look for a shop that sells and services heavy earth plant trucks etc
