Hi,

I would like to replace a lot of my old vacuum tubing around the engine, but I'm having difficulty in locating the correct rubber connector pieces. My local parts places supply rather coarse and inflexible rubber tubing and I tried this already but its ugly and, doesnt seem to fit snugly and cracks easily.
I can get the nylon tubing no problem. If anyone can suggest the supplier or website of these little connectors,grommets and wotsits in the UK, Europe or USA, I'd be very happy.

Thank you

Gerard

I got mine at the dealer -- they're inexpensive. They still use these connectors, so they probably have a stock of hundreds of them in their shop.

If a dealer is not conveniently located near you, then Phil (at MercedesShop FastLane at the top of this page can get them and ship them to you.)

Fastlane has them too at a fair price. But seeing you are on the Emerald Isle shipping would kill you.

In your case try the dealer first...
