Here’s what you do: Get the ID of the hose on both ends, then scroll through the Gates catalog to find something as close as possible. You might need to find something that’s close and cut/insert a piece of tubing to get the angle you need. Or; Cut out the bad section of your existing hose

Seems more likely that it's the control circuitry, or the sensors that feed it. It's not often that a solenoid just decides to fire on it's own. However, disconnecting it will tell you if that system is the cause. On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 12:12 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com>
