The style is correct. You should check back in the thread to verify whether others have used the 14 - 16 mm clamp size.Does this hose clamp work? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073X2LF3B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

*****Thanks, Keith. It is an OM642 6-cyl diesel. From my research the electronically assisted power steering was only on gas vehicles, no? And If I'm wrong (and it would be great if I am!), perhaps an addendum to the sticky would help others too.
---- added: as I was typing this, Cheyenne directed us to another thread. It seems that all 2wd VS30 vans have electronic assisted power steering, not merely diesel vs. gas. Again, an addendum to the sticky would help and I will do just that by editing my sticky post. Thanks much!
I assume they put on a screw type clamp - any evidence of cooler tube bending or hose damage that might indicate it was physically pulled off vs pushed off by hydraulic pressure?i had my recall done on my 2019 and 4000 miles later on a fire trail the lower hose came off again .
The fuel injection style clamps are easier/gentler on the hose than the worm drive clamps. Clamping is also more evenly distributed.I just found this thread and I'm so glad I did... my hose was holding on by maybe a quarter inch.
What is the significance of the smooth clamps? I put on a "corrugated" one because that's what I had on hand, similar style to the one shown in the van compass kit above. Do I need to replace it?
So yours will leak electrons rather than fluid.my 2wd diesel v6 has electric steering
Along with the blanket fluidSo yours will leak electrons rather than fluid.
