It is doubtful that the line will cause that behavior since if it were cracked, you'd have problems all the time, not just when braking. Replacing the line is probably not a bad idea anyway since it has a check valve made of plastic in it. The one in my SL broke (crumbled) for no apparent reason and left the car with both a high loping idle AND reduced braking power. Fun combination!
If you don't mind a used part, you might post a "want to buy" ad in the "For Sale" section of this forum.
