2010 glk brake booster vacuum line relocation

Hi there,

I recently purchased a glk for my wife. She loves it and I think it has cool features that my other cars didn't have iedirectional headlights). However, upon opening the hood, the first thing I noticed that looked odd was the routing of the brake booster vacuum line.

I could imagine the engineers say "there, looks great.... Oh wait a minute..... Crap! we forgot the dang vacuum line for the brake booster! Were out of time so lets just put the line across the engine cover with 2 rubber isolators... good enough!"

Needless to say, I plan on relocation the line so it is more pleasing to the eye

Let me know your thoughts on that...

yes
I would just remove the damn thing. It's unattractive no matter where it's located.

I was wondering about that myself. I can't imagine why it couldn't be relocated but it sounds like a bit of a hassle. It is a dopey location.
