Coolant Water Flange Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM A2762000156

Product Overview

A Water Flange for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, held against OEM A2762000156. In service the part joins several coolant lines at the cylinder head and usually carries the temperature sensor and its seals. This part joins several coolant lines at the cylinder head and usually carries the temperature sensor and its seals. The failure modes that bring it across a parts counter are hairline cracks in the moulding and warped mating faces, reported as a coolant drip at the head, low coolant warnings and an intermittent temperature signal. It sits inside a cooling-system programme of more than 4000 types, so the same order can carry the neighbouring hoses, flanges and thermostat housings for the platform.

Key Benefits

• Export packing as standard — The range ships to Europe, the Middle East and South America, so cartons are packed for long sea legs rather than for a local van run.
• One reference set on every document — OEM A2762000156 appears on the quotation, the packing list and the carton label, so a warehouse can check a delivery without opening the box.
• Consolidate the platform in one order — Hoses, flanges and thermostat housings for the same platform ship on one pallet, which shortens the paperwork and the freight bill.
• Tooling route for obsolete references — Where the reference is out of production, we develop the mould from the sample you supply rather than turning the enquiry away.

Application Scenarios

Scheduled cooling-system overhaul

The vehicle is in for a coolant leak and the workshop replaces the whole branch at once rather than chasing the next failure in a month. Here the water flange is ordered against A2762000156 and travels with the rest of the Mercedes-Benz branch.

Warranty-expired fleet maintenance

A fleet past dealer coverage moves to independent supply and needs the same reference coverage at a working price. On this reference that means quoting A2762000156 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

Counter stock for a busy platform

Mercedes-Benz volume in the region justifies holding the line on the shelf instead of ordering it in per job. Here the water flange is ordered against A2762000156 and travels with the rest of the Mercedes-Benz branch.

Who It Is For

• Aftermarket distributors — stocking cooling-system lines for Mercedes-Benz across a regional network and needing a reference-accurate catalogue behind the shelf. They judge A2762000156 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.
• Workshop and fast-fit chains — replacing water flanges on Mercedes-Benz daily and judging a supplier on whether the part fits first time. A2762000156 earns its shelf space through repeat demand on Mercedes-Benz platforms.
• Online parts sellers — listing by OEM reference, where a mismatched number turns into a return and a negative rating. What they need from A2762000156 is that it fits the Mercedes-Benz on the ramp today.

Problems It Solves

Returns from wrong fitment

Every returned part costs the freight twice. Checking the port count, the bolt pattern and whether the sensor and seals are included before despatch is cheaper than a credit note. For this water flange the answer is the reference, A2762000156, on every document.

Long lead times on slow movers

A slow line ordered alone waits for a container. Consolidated with fast movers it travels on the same shipment. With A2762000156 the check is the port count, the bolt pattern and whether the sensor and seals are included, and it happens before despatch.

Unclear compound

PA66 mouldings crack rather than weep, so a hairline split can empty a coolant system quickly once it opens. For Mercedes-Benz buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on A2762000156.

Technical Features

The part serves the coolant distribution point and joins several coolant lines at the cylinder head and usually carries the temperature sensor and its seals. It is moulded in PA66 glass-filled nylon, chosen because glass-filled PA66 gives a rigid pipe that holds its shape against vibration and keeps clamp faces dimensionally stable at under-bonnet temperature.

Used where the part must hold a fixed geometry and carry bolted or clipped interfaces. PA66 mouldings crack rather than weep, so a hairline split can empty a coolant system quickly once it opens.

Specifications

Values marked TBC are not stated on the source catalogue. They are confirmed in writing on the quotation rather than estimated here.

Comparison With the Alternatives

Use Guide

1. Confirm the reference

   Match OEM A2762000156 against the number on the part you removed. Do not match on outline alone.

2. Check the interfaces

   Compare the port count, the bolt pattern and whether the sensor and seals are included before the vehicle is stripped further.

3. Inspect on arrival

   Look for transit damage on sealing faces and connectors. PA66 mouldings crack rather than weep, so a hairline split can empty a coolant system quickly once it opens.

4. Fit with the original clamp style

   Reuse the clamp type the Mercedes-Benz platform was designed around, and fit any seal or O-ring supplied with A2762000156 rather than carrying the old one over.

5. Pressure check before handover

   Refill, bleed the circuit and check for hairline cracks in the moulding at working temperature before the vehicle leaves.
