[W124] Coolant hoses - silicon

[Frank Smyth]

Hey folks
 
Has anyone found a silicon hose kit for the Mercs yet ? We have them over here (Samco branded) for various "blingable" cars, but not for any Mercedes. I found a pinhole leak in one of the lower pipes while troubleshooting a failed fan so would like to replace the pipes with silicon rather than rubber.
(failed fan turned out to be the temperature sensor/switch, so I need to replace that. In the meantime I have bridged it so that the fan is constantly engaged while the engine is running)
 
Cheers
Frank
