Hi Nate,
I don't know if it was the previous owner or the one previous to him. My thought is to get it mapped out and then replace all the rubber connections in the engine compartment. Thanks for the advice on cleaning. I was using some dish soap (Dawn) and warm water. I cleaned them since I took the pictures. I'll take some more later this week of the cleaned up hoses.
Trans shifts fine but this is the one that has no vacuum connections to it (722.1 I think). Nothing in the ACC works. I'm sure that will be an adventure but hoping that if the right hose gets plugged in a few things will come back online. I'm going on the assumption that the servo is bad and will be replaced. The vacuum pump doesn't seem to suck very well as it takes a while for the brakes to get some boost. I'll hook up the gauge to it this week and see what reading I get. The brake booster was replaced and a new seal at the m/c was installed. I have a rebuild kit for the vacuum pump and may just rebuild it anyway.
Central locking is the last priority. Strangely, it worked in my 76 240D. Miss that car (except for the oil filter).
thanks,
David
