Does the 602 use the amplifier (blue flying saucer)? If so, there's a bit of adjustment via the screw on the bottom...........but, it is not significant.

The final resort is to increase modulator pressure, but I loathe to advise this until all vacuum solutions are exhausted.

To the OP:

It would benefit for you to find a "Mityvac" which can both measure vacuum and also supply hand held vacuum for testing. I'd wager that such a device is available there.

Will get a mityvac also. Yes, it is a W124 but with an OM606 N/A.

How do you get the white plastic cover off the modulator? It looks very old and brittle from the heat and I just don't want to pull it incase it breaks.

I can see a white device on top of the IP, is that the VCV? And then a green flying saucer thingo on top of that.

Apparently, my original error was a case of brilliant clairvoyance............I was thinking a 210 with a 606............sheer luck.

Can't give you any advice on the 606 as to whether you can do any vacuum adjustments. Need those fellows to chime in.

I would not start with the modulator...........leave it alone until you get a Mityvac and see what the modulator gets for vacuum.

Any W124 606er's that can suggest anything?

If I get hold of a pressure guage, I am guessing I'll have to measure the pressure down by the modulator whilst driving.

Where would I find information on what pressure I should have i.e whilst at idle and whilst driving?

Ha Ha! Yes, that is the state of my mind today. A combination of a late night and a two year old early morning riser = not much sleep

.........ahh........I know the feeling.........I look at some of the things I post the next day and wonder...........WTF..........that alcohol really degrades the accuracy...........

I have no fears, however, TF will always catch me out............
