I've checked Mopar Parts/Dealer stocks nationally. The part is discontinued and not in stock anywhere. Seems like someone private has one sitting in a dusty box somewhere or a used one they can take off a crashed-out car.

 

Did you contact World Parts Direct? They have supplied me with parts that others show are not.

 

I did. Nothing available anywhere in North America. Zilch. Zero. Nada.

 

You can use a 1/2 or 5/8 push pin wire routing clip from a local auto parts store. The hose is metric so it is not quite 9/16" and a tad larger than 1/2" od. A zip tie works just as well. But it will not hurt anything to just leave it. It will rest on top of the fan shroud. It cannot really go anywhere.

 

That is my next move. I am just trying to make it as nice and correct as possible. At least with the zip tie, it will make it look tidy.

 

It's also a Mercedes-Benz part. I'll try to take my car to my local MB dealer tomorrow. I use a VIN from a 2002 SLK 320 roadster when I get my parts. Maybe he can find one. I'll let you know.
Here's a picture I found while searching:

Rob, you da man!

 

Luckily Rob from needswings.com has saved the day! https://www.needswings.com/radiator-vent-hose-bracket
I did go to my Mercedes-Benz like I said I was going to. Here is what it's called and the part number: Loom Tie - Mercedes-Benz (004-997-59-90).
There are none available in their supply chain. He did find 2 in Japan however, but way too expensive.

 

last ones just sold, all gone now

 

I hope he got one!

 

not sure, some people add their forum name to their account on our website and some do not.

Here might be one, on fleabay ( Genuine Mercedes Loom Tie 5pcs A208 C208 R170 R171 S203 S210 W124 0049975990 | eBay ).

In the diagram, I think the part he is looking for is #44. They have the correct part number, but they show the wrong part? #80 in the diagram. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.
I pm'd him with a link to one in Japan. Just in case he didn't get the one from Rob.

 

Its part #44 he wants, it corresponds to #13 in his diagram.

 

Sadly, it was not me.

 

Right P/N, wrong item highlighted on the diagram. Let's see what shows up!
