... when I first thought about this vintage of MBZs with stick shifts, it didn't make sense that they would have any of the many vacuum components that we know to be part of the auto tranny control system... but then I realized that just maybe these are for control of the turbo as well. Does your stick Euro 240D have a turbo... did it always have a manual tranny? These things might give us insight as to why you have that DashPot!??
