I have not ordered the hose yet, and will give that a try. I was thinking of that putting a small drill bit in before glueing to keep the passage open. If not thirty bucks for the whole shot, not to bad.

From a non-mechanic

I can't give any advice on what to fix, but I will say that if you have those problems, do yourself a favor, and get them ALL FIXED RIGHT, or sell the car. I hate cars that have 6 issues that constantly cause problems.

You sound like a DIY'er and if so, that's great. You can save a lot of money that way. If these are deeper problems and you need to hire someone, you might find a mobile mechanic to do some of them that could save you a lot of money, or you might go to an MB mechanic.

Get it done right so you can at least enjoy the car.

Good luck,
