I wondered about this too. I have not gone in there yet to check all these. My priority right is to replace the header exhaust pipe. The diesel smoke coming out of it and in the engine comaprtment is quite annoying. Next would probably be the central lock vacuum system, then the dash lights.

I ordered a book online that supposedly will help diagnose the vacuum system. Also, I called my buddy svc mgr at the mb dealership who said he'll try to get diagrams for me. Hope he comes thru.
