W220 (S430)
Leak is fixed!!

I followed houqoutwou suggestion using soft vacuum connectors.

I purchased the Dorman 47432 vacuum pack from O'Reilly's for $4.99. I'm guessing Vacu-Tite was bought out by Dorman. Same part number though.


I chose the vacuum adapter with the largest opening so that I can slip it over the hard plastic tube.


I ended up siphoning the coolant out of the tank so that I can move it and swing it out of the way. I also removed the washer reservoir so that I can get more room to work and avoid any scraped knuckles ;-)


It's a tight fit over the hard plastic piece but I added a little bit of WD40 to help slip it over the hose.


I added a zip tie to avoid any future possible leak.


Slipped the other end over the washer outlet and added another zip tie for good measure.
