Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: w123 pics

 

Caitlin, 

 

    Look on the cross member above the radiator.  Your car was built with an engine compartment vacuum line diagram, right on that cross member.  It may have been painted over, or torn off, but at least look for it. 

 

    Since it was there on every 300SD ever built, you can probably find one on your next junkyard trip.  Take a portable camera (not allowed in some junkyards, so don't flash it around), and take a picture of it.  Read your camera's instruction manual to see how to do close-up photos (sometimes called "macro").  This will let you get close and do a full screen shot.  A cell phone camera is NOT the option to use here.
