Elimination of Vacuum Reservoir W124
On my 91 300D, I concluded that my vacuum problem was a bad VCV....so I replaced it. Things were noticeably improved, but I still had the occasional bumpy downshift. So, just for grins, I took the vacuum reservoir offline. And, wadda you know, shifting is perfect.
Especially on a 23 year old car, I'm all for simplifying the vacuum system to the extent possible to eliminate variables. AFAIK W124 vacuum reservoir - purpose?, the only purpose of the reservoir is to create a buffer of vacuum for faster flap openings and closings in the climate control....which I can certainly live without. Anyone else take their reservoir offline? Any noticeable effects? I know eventually I can eliminate the BFS....but I think I'll leave well enough alone for now.
