Unfortunately, I do not have x-ray vision. I will have someone check the hose. It looks fairly new, so obviously if thats the case, the hose is prematurely defective. Is this just a thing with Mercedes cars? I am wondering because I have owned alot of different cars over the years and have never had or heard of one with a swollen brake hose.
