Coolant Water Flange Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM A2762000256

Product Overview

Coolant Water Flange Pipe for Mercedes-Benz OEM A2762000256 is a direct-reference replacement for the coolant distribution point of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It is listed here against OEM A2762000256, so the part can be matched to a vehicle without guesswork. 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. We hold it as part of a cooling-system range of more than 4000 types built for the independent aftermarket in Europe, the Middle East and South America.

Key Benefits

• 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.
• Inspection before despatch — Parts are inspected before they leave, which for this family means checking the sealing faces and the connector geometry that decide whether it fits.
• Built for the duty of the coolant distribution point — The part joins several coolant lines at the cylinder head and usually carries the temperature sensor and its seals, so the compound and the wall construction are matched to that circuit rather than to a generic hose spec.

Application Scenarios

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. On this reference that means quoting A2762000256 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

Breakdown repair

The vehicle is off the road and the part has to be right the first time, which makes the reference match the whole decision. With A2762000256 on the list the rest of the coolant distribution point can be priced at the same time.

Rebuild of an obsolete platform

The original reference is no longer produced, so the part is made from a supplied sample. For A2762000256 the practical step is confirming the port count, the bolt pattern and whether the sensor and seals are included before the order is placed.

Who It Is For

• Exporters and consolidators — shipping mixed cooling-system pallets into Europe, the Middle East and South America. A2762000256 earns its shelf space through repeat demand on Mercedes-Benz platforms.
• Aftermarket distributors — stocking cooling-system lines for Mercedes-Benz across a regional network and needing a reference-accurate catalogue behind the shelf. They order A2762000256 by the carton and reorder against the same number.
• Workshop and fast-fit chains — replacing water flanges on Mercedes-Benz daily and judging a supplier on whether the part fits first time. A2762000256 earns its shelf space through repeat demand on Mercedes-Benz platforms.

Problems It Solves

Reference mismatch

Visually identical parts carry different connector geometry between model years. Quoting OEM A2762000256 fixes the identity before money moves. On A2762000256 that is settled before the quotation goes out.

Split ordering

Sourcing one hose from one supplier and the matching flange from another doubles the freight and the paperwork for the same repair. With A2762000256 the check is the port count, the bolt pattern and whether the sensor and seals are included, and it happens before despatch.

Parts that are no longer produced

When the original reference is dropped, the repair still exists. Sample-based production and mould development keep the line alive. With A2762000256 the check is the port count, the bolt pattern and whether the sensor and seals are included, and it happens before despatch.

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 A2762000256 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 A2762000256 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.
