I have been working on the car and the Airmatic hose snapped. It broke off about 4 inches so I do not have slack to re-insert.

I was going to take the hose pump for one of the soft close trunk and place it over the remaining tube and try to rig something so that I can get the car back to the house. Of course I have to fly tomorrow and will be gone for a couple of weeks.

Suggestions. Does the dealer sell just the hose.?

Best bet is a craigslist parts cars or a junkyard , if you can't find one locally ask a junkyard seller on eBay who had a complete w220 they are parting out

Thanks for the Junk Yard advice. I will do that if I cannot find a hose elsewhere.

Is hose replacement DIY. I do not see where the other end is located. It would be great if tomorrow I should find some additional slack.

I find it extraordinary that I cannot find a hose or that no one else has had the problem.

I am searching threads here and elsewhere and I have yet to hear that someone has broke their hose. As I said my left hose is hard and and inflexible and just broke off.

Have a great day Tusabes.

First thing that I would do is to go to Home Depot, Lowes, Grainger, or a good hardware store and try to find a hose that is close in size, along with two couplings. Insert a couple of inches at the break...
