At the rear of the Intake Manifold is the Banjo Bolt. Remove the bolt and clean out the gunk
that is created from the EGR Soot and Oil Blow By.


There is a plastic tube which runs over to the drivers side Fire Wall and connects to the Switch Over Valve.
A line from it goes to the ALDA (square thing) on the Injection Pump.


If the banjo bolt gets plugged up, it will affect the performance of the engine.

Here is a good link to the W123 vacuum system

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
