I rarely hear of vacuum lock failure with the W124 cars. They use essentially the same system as the W126 and W201 cars - the vacuum / pressure is provided by an electric pump which rarely fails. Also, only one vacuum line needs to run from each actuator to the pump.


My 124 locks were not working when I purchased the car. Ok, so it took me 2 years to check it out. Looked under the rear seat to check the vacuum pump, and it was not there! I assime the PO removed it to make the locks work manually and never replaced it. I will be sending a check to a forum member shortly to purchase a pump. I will post results.
