Agreed. I replaced mine for $11 at the Mercedes dealer. Look at them closely, see if the ends looked cracked and split. I wouldn't pull them off until I had the replacements though, mine were very brittle, and had to scrounge up some vacuum line to put on for the ride to the parts dept.
Other people have had luck replacing them with various other tubing, but the dealer part is cheap, and I live close.
