[diesel_mercedes] W123 240D Vacuum leak, then no vacuum at all.

 

Hi Everyone,

Reporting in with an interesting problem. I have a 1977 240D. Recently I noticed a hissing sound coming from the black rubber conduit that runs between the driver's door and the front fender.

I drove for a couple of week, the car would loose some vacuum sitting, say at work, but after driving a few miles it would build vacuum up again. Since then, the car has sat several weeks because I had a surgery on my leg. When I went out last Wednesday and today, the car start as normal but I noticed, after about ten minutes, the locks would not work and the ignition key would not stop the engine.

Right now, the power locks don't work, the transmission and brakes work fine, but the trunk is locked while everything else is unlocked?

Any ideas on why it would suddenly stop building vacuum after having a small leak and sitting for a while?

Thanks,

Johnathan
