w123 vacuum system check
I am thinking about buying a '95 300CD (170k miles) and would like to know if there is a relatively simple single point (or just a few) connection to test integrity of the vacuum system. Other systems have obvious funtionality - I hope. Anything else tricky to look for?

I assume you meant "85" 300CD...
1) if the door locks work well for 5 or 6 turns with the engine off, theyre good. 2) if you turn on the economy button on the climate control and don't feel air blowing out the defroster vent, its probably good. 3) with the engine running and doors closed, try to fold the seats foward, if they dont move, the seat locks work good 4) if the car shuts off right away when you turn the key off, its good. if you have a tester, test the systems in various conditions at the main spliter at the firewall.

Yup, it's a beautiful '85 CD. Thanks, I'll look for those things.
