I am looking for the part number for the individual vacuum pods associated with the climate control buttons. I have been unable to find it on the forum. Am I stuck going to the junk yard?
I just got an 85 300d in excellent shape save the vacuum system...

You can use the Buy Parts tab above to find the part numbers or you can use the EPC (Electronic parts catalog).

Junkyard cars likely have shot vacuum systems, too.

You don't have to buy new pods. You can just replace the diaphrams inside them.
George Murphy at Performance Analysis in Knoxville, TN can send you diaphrams for all the pods for less than the price of one pod.

Excellent. Thanks for the info. I will look into this.
The car works great when the climate system is off. Shifts awful, wont stop, and wont central lock when on "EC". I haven't had time to measure things thoroughly with my mightyVac.
I believe I can actually hear air leaking from somewhere under the dash...

I have been busy with other things... I am fixing a few odds and ends before selling my 84 SD and putting a new kitchen in the house.

I will get to this tonight

Thanks for the help Charmalu. I didn't have George's contact info at the ready.
