What is this thing????
This gadjet is mounted on the drivers-side inner fender on my 1985 300D. Note that on the left leg of the vacuum line "Y" has nothing attached. There isn't a vacuum line laying around that would have fallen off of it. Does there need to be a line on it, and if so, where would it go to?? Any help would be appreciated. My old Haynes manual devotes exactly one short paragraph to the vacuum system. I guess they were afraid to get into it.....Thanks...Dave

Never seen anything like that on an MB before. Is it a US model or from another country?

Pressure converter for the EGR.
FSM section 14 says "positive vent line" for both of those. The diagram shows it connecting to a "Y" joining up with a line from Switchover Valve. These two lines join up, then go into a "vent filter" right near the VCV. Look near the VCV near the same place where the vent line to the passenger compartment feeds off. That's about where the Y/filter join in.. |

Can't you understand gibberish?
The vacuum control valve = VCV. The shutoff valve towards the back of the IP. Near the oil filter housing, underneath the green dashpot/damper doo-bob, whatchamahooser. |

I believe it's a vacuum converter, on 85's only.
