replacing intake manifold & broke a rubber hose
i was pulling out my old intake and at the very last step on the pelican parts page- pulling rubber hoses from the two inlets in the front of the intake( a thick black rubber hose that goes into a clear hose running under the utility intake, not sure if it runs into it,).. well, i was pulling those out and one tore than crumbled. safe to say that i didn't let it go gently into the night. does someone know the specs of that tube, a link, or the overpriced mercedes part number that i have to buy? thank you in advance! any help would be appreciated.

Maybe you can post a pic.
Also, get a copy of the WIS off of eBay for under $10. It also includes the parts catalog (EPC) so you can look up your part numbers.

the sarcastic answer of just buying WIS did not help. But after a little more research, i found it.it is a vacuum hose of with the diameters of 3.5 x7.5 which is the size of most the vacuum hoses in the car, i didn't know that before but now i do. this is for anyone else who may need the answer. The hose is hard to find in stores but extremely easy to get online. Good luck to anyone who may find this.
