Angry W116 300SD - Pic/diagram needed

Hello All-
As you can see the photo my brilliant mechanic cut some vacuum line in my 1980 300SD. He was trying to fix a vacuum issue I'm having. Would someone PLEASE send me a photo and/or diagram of where these lines lead and where they are connected. I'm NOT taking my car to the garage that did this.

Thanks!!

Those yellow lines operate the door, fuel and trunk locks.

Is the set up in the photo above how it would have come from the factory?

Where is good place to buy the tubing, hand held pressure pump, and anything else I need to test and track down the vacuum issue I'm having. I want to get this handled and soon.

From your photo I would guess the PO of your car had a leak in the door lock circuit and chose to disconnect rather than repair. You'll need a Mityvac or similar to troubleshoot and locate the problem(s). If you have a Harbor Freight nearby they have this little kit on sale.

Mityvac - Harbor Freight Tools
