I need some advice. the people changing my oil broke my vaccum connector that leads to the cut off switch. comsequeeently the can won't shut off. I went to the locaal mb dealer and tried to buy the valve connector.
they said mb only sold the complete assembly
which is a black hose with metal fittings on each end and vaccum connectors in the middle.
Is there anything special to replacing the hose? thought I'd ask now rather than later.

THe hose call Brake booster vacuum line,connect from engine vacuum pump to brake booster.And sold as one pice only.
Theres no special tool to replace hose,Use
19 mm & 17 mm open wrench will do the job.

The same thing happened to me while working on my 240-D. Super Glue worked great until a friend trying to adjust the steering box broke it again. I Super Glued it again and it worked great until I broke it again when priming the injection pump... Ended up buying the complete assembly!

Do not do a quick fix on this!! I have seen them break in motion and cause the power assist to fail on the brakes!!
