Looking all over i cant find silicone hoses for any W124 models . just a guess its a W124 you never said .
Last call would be - AliExpress the do them , but they will need to be shipped from China . Important -- if the cooling system in the car is running ok,, then i would be a bit reluctant to start working on the cooling system so closre to your holidays. And if it was me i would take a set of normal hoses with me just in case .

Be careful with silicone hoses. They need to be tightened really well as they have a habit of blowing off easier than rubber ones.

Been there, done that...

Thanks me thinks i will stop with stock rubber hoses .The genuine ☮ hoses i removed after 32 years were as good as the new ones i fitted from Gates .

will do, I will take them with me if no problem fit them when i get back would of prefered M/B original I think these are the original pipes I have never changed them in the 15 years of ownership. I will keep looking for original
