Sound after shutting engine off 1984 300D
After shutting the engine off, I often hear something (a fluid?) circulating or whooshing under the hood. It's noticeable for about 60 seconds after shutting off the engine before it dissipates. What am I hearing?
84 300D turbo

Vacuum component?

possibly. I had a leaking vacuum check valve and the vacuum escaping could be heard from the drivers seat, windows up.

The vacuum transducers in my car make some noise until the vacuum bleeds off of the component side. Not sure how many an 84 has, but I think there's one for the EGR.
Have you been using the A/C? My dad's Volvo S70 makes a quiet hissing noise as the A/C system equalizes after the car is shut off.

Ah, so true. My home (and my Benz) is in the NW, but I'm at school now in New York.
Without A/C, I'd look into vacuum stuff. Has this noise just started, or has it always been this way?

I popped the hood after running the car today and found the source of the noise (see photo). It is located in the front of the engine bay on the passenger side, and makes a buzzing sound---I can feel it vibrating also. It slowly quiets down and after the engine has been shut off for about 2 minutes, the buzzing/vibrating stops. It looks like it says "VAC" on the top, and clearly has at least 2 vacuum lines attached. What is this, and is it supposed to vibrate and emit a loud buzzing sound?

Not sure what it is, but mine's out of the car and in a box in the basement now.

I can't tell for sure without popping the hood again, but it looks like the two vacuum lines are labeled "VAC" and "EGR". See close-up:

Yep, that's a vacuum transducer. Mine make noise too until the vacuum between it and the device it's controlling bleeds off. Not really sure why they make noise, maybe it's because the diaphragm inside leaks a little.

Any transmission/gear shift issues associated with this?
Mine ('84 300SD Turbodiesel, 150K) started making this noise as well... And recently I have trouble moving the gear shifter from drive, through neutral: I meet resistance at Reverse and cannot put the car into Park. I have to go back into Drive for a foot or two, then the gear shift can move through Reverse and into Park.
Are the two issues connected? If not, what might be causing the gear shift issue? |

I believe it is an air transfer.

Thanks Joe, would you mind expanding on this?
