I've considered replacing everything but it gets kinda pricy. Since they are routed differently I would have to get the brackets, too. Plus I can't be sure everything would fit right.
A few places tried the VIN number but could not come up with part numbers for the hoses.
When I plug in my VIN into the Mercedes EPC-net online site and go to the hose diagram it says something like "does not apply" when I click to get the part numbers.
I can see why some just bypass the darn thing but I'd rather not.
