Diesel RVs: [diesel_mercedes] Re: 79 300D Vacuum Hose Diagram

Hi Nate,

I'll take another look. Nasty weather here in central NJ for the next few days. Don't know when I'll get back to the car. Drove it around the neighborhood a bit yesterday. Vacuum pump is coming off for a rebuild this weekend, though. Vac gauge was mostly wobbly and only a few inches. Probably just enough for it to shut off. Brake boost also very weak. At least I can work on the pump in the basement. I ordered their catalog. Lots of good stuff on their website.

thanks,
David
