Well I have another steep learning curve on my new 1995 E300D which has so many parts vacuum operated compared to my 1997 E300D. Since finances are tight I try my best to do most of the work myself. However there are at times when I could use the wisdom of a tried and true MB mechanic who knows the ins and outs of these great machines. I have been research how to track down vacuum leaks in MBS but if I dont succeed anyone know someone in the Syracuse area?
