The cooling housing is Mercedes #112 180 00 85 on my SRT6, and Behr #87938.
The numbers you want are on each part but I cannot see what the filter housing number is.
Thanks for the help. Yeah I was curious how the entire thing needed to be replaced when its a chunk of aluminum. Im going to pick up the car today but I figure I can get by with just replacing the two gaskets. The issue is oil being found in my coolant and no documented evidence of a head gasket going bad on these cars. The mechanic said its a known issue with these particular coolers.
