Are these types of drainage holes/tubes common to all cars or just Mercedes? I never heard of them until I had a Mercedes. It seems like a weak point in an otherwise well-designed car.

Coat hangers are not long enough to snake drains.What else could I use.

A friend with an Audi A4 had similar issues.

Piece of stiff plastic tubing works well - like the inlet tubing on a oil extractor.
