Is it possible if a vacuum pump failed during 1987-90 if would be replaced with the same pump? When did they realize it was a flawed design... My 300SDL has 308,000 and has good stopping besides a warped rotor.. I do feel like alot of pressure being put on the pedal almost like ABS kicking in... the ANTILOCK light comes on. If someone had the pump rebuilt under warranty was it rebuilt original? Could the pump fail on the interstate if you're not even using the brakes? What causes them to fail? How long are most original pumps good for...are there some 300SDL's that won't have vacuum pump failure?
