I don't buy things from Rusty, I use Gary and a local dealer which I have an excellent relationship with. I went with the dealer on this one since I wanted MB hose to match all the other MB hose I'm using. It seems demand is low, since they had to order it from Germany. The bypass hose is 38mm,

The water pump/generator arrangement on the M189 is quite unique but scary. The parts for the coupling are NLA, and the water pump may or may not be available. The water pump on my 1962 300SE bit the big one, and in 1999 or 2000 it was close to $400 and had to come from the Fatherland. Good

I think the caps are available again, and they don't seem that they're as expensive as they used to be. At least, I see them for sale here and there. Mine is in pretty good shape, so I just cleaned it up and will see how it goes. Next M189 challenge I have to deal with is an oil leak at the

In 2000 or thereabouts the caps, if you could find an NOS one, were running in the low $300 range. Fortunately, mine didn't need one, but I was trying to be proactive and source one should I need it. I think I found one courtesy of John, the guy Down Under who has the MB shop. It was the

300 SE/SEL was one of the all time most beautiful cars ever. M189 is legendary engine that built legends. What a combination. As for advanced for its time... absolutely! 30 years ago I went through the USAF museum at dayton. Looking at the captured DB605 engine and comparing it to merican

According to my local MB dealer those short pieces of hose are now once again available. You no longer have to buy the whole meter long piece. That is of course if you absolutely need it right now and the dealer has it in stock , which is doubtful. Much easier and quicker to go with Rusty. BTW
