Don't have a picture, but I think this might help to answer your question: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w211...-airmatic.html

If you're getting a message to visit the workshop, the broken hose may have allowed enough dirt get into the compressor to damage it, and you may need to repair or replace it. See http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...ce-filter.html

Ok wow i really appriciate that , its just soo strange because there was a small clamp that fell off of the other end of the hose any ways compressor probably is filled with dirt and oil and sounds like its shorting out now we know why lol

I have done both hoses and filter. Will see if I had any pictures. (or found any)
Otherwise I can take some.

My hoses were cracked AFTER the filter, so the pump was shot as DanG2 warns.
I replaced the pump, hose to the filter, the filter (was visibly dirty @ 120k) and the hose to the air cleaner assembly.

Ok thanks if you find pics that would be cool but the hose on the upper part of the filter just exposed is that correct ?

DanG2

The hose on the upper part of the filter (the filter inlet) goes to atmosphere just like the inlet to the filter of pretty much any air compressor goes to atmosphere. EPC lists the hose as,"FROM CROSSMEMBER TO AIR FILTER," so I expect that if you look around on the crossmember you should be able to find a bracket that the hose tucks into, as shown in the following screenshot:
