Vacuum line! just did all my most visible and easily accessible ones.
Super cheap, I bought like 10-15 feet off autohauosaz.
c36 are notorious for these lines cracking and breaking, new lines are night and day difference, look and feel wise. New lines are clearish white with flexibility and they get yellow and hardened over time and tend to break

I see the black rubber piece u speak of and assume the vacuum line just sticks in there (and can pull broken off piece out of there). Could you be more descriptive in your response as I may not be following?
Thanks

Yep! remove the old stuff, cut the new piece to the right length using sharp cutters (I used air line cutters) then you should be good to go. I bought (10) pieces of that
