The factory people who built MB's from 1950-1985 were all midgets with small fingers.

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Re: picture of a/c drain hose posted
to the right of the gas (diesel) pedal. behind the panel, right behind the a/c controls. the tube, held at the top by a plastic clip, goes toward the driver, bends down to the floor, and curves back into the transmission tunnel. Being foam with a spring and covered in plastic, it just bends to fit. I hope I put it in correctly. I zip tied the top, I could not get the plastic clip back on. the bottom of the new piece had a 4 inch rubber spout. I felt it was best to put the rubber part at the bottom where it curves into the transmission area. The hard part is removing the panel under the steering wheel, the panel that is behind that one, and the panel on the right. That is the order I think they need to be removed. I broke a plastic clip on one panel, but it still went back on firmly.
I am 6'3, so bending down to find each screw and connector, and figuring out how it was held together was the difficult part.
Also I did not completely remove the panel by the radio, I just disconnected the accelerator pedal and gently bent the panel around it, and then reached in to remove and replace the tube.Once panel one and two are out of the way, the console panel pulls down to disengage.
yes it exits the cabin over the transmission through a hole in the metal. the opening is protected by a collar.
