I heard somewhere that mercedes started using
a backup vacuum pump for the door lock system on newer merecedes. Is this true and is it possible to put one in a 78 300D? My system works well, just sometimes when it is cool out it is slow or doesn't work if the car sits for a long time. Thanks! Matthew |

Repair your power door lock system will cost lest $ then putting new system,usually is the door element go out.

The new systems don't have a back-up pump the just use a pump that works both directions.
Your system uses vacuum to lock and to unlock. The new systems have only one line and use vacuum one way and pressure the other way. You could replace all your vacuum elements a couple times for what the pumps cost alone. Fix your system and I would recommend replacing all the door actuators unless you know there history. The labor to find a small leak will cost as much as the labor to replace all three door elements. If you only replace a single leaker the system works with higher vacuum and the rest are subject to this and fail sooner. ------------------ Steve Brotherton Owner 24 bay BSC Bosch Master, ASE master L1 26 years MB technician |
