Knocked off several vacuum hoses! - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

In the process of doing the gaskets on my oil filter stand (man what a job that was), I accidentily disconnected several vaccum lines. I can't figure out where they go so what do I do? BTW I now know you can't shut down a 300D with said hoses off.
HELP

You can push the manual stop lever.

Can you provide a picture to us of what ya knocked off?

Right at the firewall where the power brake assist is located, there are a number of different color tubes that have become disconected. Also a black poly tube about a foot long seems to have completely pulled out from where it was attached in or through the firewall. Another thin tube also pulled through. It is also about a foot long. BTW where is the manual cut off switch?

I can go snap a pic of mine for you if that'll help? I have removed all the emission crap but you should get the idea I think

The manual stop lever is on the IP, it's red and says STOP on it I recall. Right around the fourth injector.

A photo may help. I'll take any help I can get on this. Obviously I pulled some things apart so not only do I need to know where things go but I think I will also need some little tubes and hoses. I have found a few vac diagrams but they all seem a little incomplete-I'll study them some more. Any further tips on diagrams or should I bite the bullett and find a guy that can fix this?

I have found several diagrams for the vac system but none of them seem to be for my particular California car. Any tips on where I can get the right diagram? It seems most of the diagrams show the major components but often show open ends that are not completed to their end device.
