Good MB shop, Wa?
Greetings, can anyone recommend a good MB shop in NW Wa? I live on the Olympic peninsula. "Benz Friendz" was the shop of choice for years but I dont think they are around anymore. I have a vacuum problem with my 85 Euro TD that I cant figure out and I'm tired of screwing with it.

There is a German auto specialties shop in Olympia that I have heard good things about. Not sure of the exact name, but a quick Google search should fix that

Thanks guys, I called the place in Lakewood as its closer. The guy I talked to didn't seem upset when I mentioned "Euro" so that's a good sign Thanks for the input this one has me stumped. I installed a new vp and replaced a couple door actuators when I got the car several years ago and everything has been working A OK, then no shut off, no door locks, nothing. I figured a BIG leak would be easy to find, right. not for me anyway. Grrrrr

Pesky Vacuum Leaks
C
Grrrrrrrrr . Been there and done that ~ I had to take three doors apart and the carpets all out, on and on then it was good for a long while then this Spring decided to leak down in 5 minutes for a month, now it's O.K. again . I envy your 5 speed 240D ! . I love my '82 240D slushbox stripper, it's a freaking turtle yet it goes, and goes, and........ Stuff it full of people and crank up the AC to 'refrigerate' and pop a CD in the Kenwood..... I just got some Robert Crumb & his Cheap Suit Serenaders CD's, dig out my vintage Blues and we're ready to roll across the Desert....
