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

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.

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:

Do do you guys have the parts number for everything I would need to complete this job or could you point me in the right direction?
