C'mon Brian, you know he meant pressure in the absolute scale
Wow, I didn't know the 606 was available as early as the '93 model year. Start a new thread with 95 E300 in the subject line. That'll get the attention of folks with the most similar configuration offered in the US.
I found the attached picture of a [claimed] 95 E300 IP on eBay. There are enough differences between this IP and the 603 IP that I can believe it's a 606 IP. It has mechanical throttle actuation which suggests it didn't come out of a 210. The VCV is the device hanging on the port side of the IP with a white plastic cap. It is held by two bolts (10mm wrench) through slotted ears. My recollection of the adjustment procedure is to hold the throttle at WOT, I strongly recommend with the engine off

, and twist the VCV CW as you view it from the port side until you feel some tension. Batten and go.
None of the US Diesels for the '93 model year have a transmission amplifier. Without it, I remain puzzled by how Brian expects to modify the vacuum... err... pressure

signal to the modulator.
AFAIK adjusting the VCV shifts the timing of the vacuum signal, not the quantity of vacuum.
Brian, maybe what's vacuum turns to pressure in the southern hemisphere.
