[diesel_mercedes] Vacuuming Ashes

 


I think if you can lay hands on a vacuum gauge , do so and watch it the next few times you drive .

Where the big vacuum hose connects the master cylinder is a vacuum check valve and when it gets oily buildup or worn out , it causes mushy brakes .

If the MC is going bad , it will sink as you lightly step on it waiting for a red light ~ if it ever sinks , get a new one ASAP before it kills you ! .

Master Cylinders usually drop like flies in November (Cali) or whenever the first cold snap hits at end of Summer .

No, No, of course I wouldnt that. I have a long hose connected and the shopvac sits out side. It sucks good for about 2 or 3 minutes, but cleaning my stove no matter how careful, well, ashes, you know, in the house. I'm just trying to find the cleanest method. Outback is thousands of acres so ash blown out there is no big deal. I had a very strange thing happen yesterday as I was speeding into town in my 240, I came up to the T intersection hit the brakes, mush, sort of slowed down. Barely made the stop. Limped into town, dropped off the car at the Les Schawb for alignment, told them the brakes just went out. When I picked up the car the brakes were back to normal. No fluid loss, they just felt like they needed to be bled. The guys at the shop said your master cylinder is going out? What do you guys think? Max

Yes you can BUT you'd best connect a secondary vacuum hose to the blow side of the shop vac. or your whole house will turn grey inside.....

Does anyone know if you can take out the filter on a shop-vac and just suck stuff right tru? I want to use it for sucking ashes out of my stove but the filter plugs up real fast. ??????????????????????? Max
