Not true at my dealer. Ford dealer, maybe, but not Mercedes Benz. Either you buy a meter, or nothing at all. The only exception is the coolant bypass hose, sold by the inch. Some online parts vendors even sell that by the meter!!! Ouch!!!

And the parts stores want to sell you a SAE 3/8" hose to replace a 12mm, in the case of the power steering hose.
