My 85 w123 turbo has a vacuum problem. The engine won’t shut off and the auto door locks don’t work. This problem started a week ago, and I’m taking it into the shop for repair on Tuesday.
If I’m correct, the symptoms indicate that the vacuum pump has failed. If that is true, I’ll have them replace it.
After 33 years, I suspect that the rubber vacuum hoses also need to be replaced. I”m thinking of doing it myself by replacing them one at a time over the next week or so.
My question is: Is this something I can do myself, or is it recommended that I get the shop to do it? It must be time consuming, so if it is a do-able diy project, I work cheap.
Please advise.
Thank you.
