Vacuum Hose

[Airhead]

Ive discovered an alternative to the RH12W hose which is obtainable from any Mercedes Benz dealer its part number 0004352182
dont be confused if they refer to it as brake booster hose, thats exactly what it is.

Hello all!

Yes brake booster hose is vacumm. 99.9% of all brake boosters, regardless of manufacturer, use vacuum unless hydraulically operated.

I believe there was another thread that mentioned the same Mercedes Benz hose as well. I can't find it though.

I just picked up this hose from the local Mercedes shop. You buy it by the part#0004352182. What you get is a hose that is around 36" or so. I didn't measure it but it's enough to do the clutch to CV and the CV to carb with a little left over. So to replace all the hoses you'd need 2. Cost me $31US.
