W 208 vacuum hose break (Please Help)
I think i butchered what i am about to write. I was taking off the MAF sensor and i broke the vacuum hose (part #: 202-430-46-29) on the side that goes into the intake manifold.
The first pic shows the old hose on the bottom and the new hose on the top. The second pic is the plastic piece on the manifold that the hose broke from...
I tried to pull out the broken piece without luck. Then i just tried to pull off the whole plastic piece off the manifold and just stripped it.
My question is, is that circled plastic piece a permanent part of the manifold? Or is there a way to get it off and put in a new one? And does anybody know the part # of that plastic piece?
Thanks in advance!
