Hi,

Just got that 240D, I gotta a lot to learn! So...I have found that the car does have automatic locks....they are just very very slow. Doing some reading I have found that A LOT on this car is vacuum related...exactly what is?

The car has been sitting for atleast 2 years....would that explain the really slow/non existant door locks? What about the blower motor for the heat, is that related?! How do I open the gas door...luckily the car came with a full tank (2 years)...should I add diesel treatment? I am going to have to open it eventually, really haven't looked for the release...where is it?

Anything else I should know about these vacuums?!

Man, I am used to working on SAABs and a Fiat, but this BENZO is in a COMPLETELY different world!!!!

Thanks,
-Kurt



P.s. I am planning on installing a new radiator, fuel filters, oil filter/oil change, air filter...primer hand pump (leaks, anyone got the PN), do i need to do glow plugs...how do I adjust the valves?! Should I do the belts at the same time? Could use some tires...acch!!! Busy winter!
