1983 240D.Could anyone help me find a Part Number for the Main Vacuum Line?
This line runs from the Vacuum Pump to the Brake Booster. Its about 1/2 inch in diameter. Most important it contains a plastic valve or orifice of some sort with two ports for vacuum supply to the Ignition, Central Door Locking, Fuel Pump and Climate Controls. I've been looking for this Line for quite some time. The model number of my 1983 240D is at the high end, ( I dont have the model number with me.) and the Car is a manual. I just cant get enough vacuum to even shut off my engine.
I would like to order the part through Fast Lane or Mercedes Shop if possible.

It is not stamped on mine. Call Phil - he will have it.

are you sure that the shutoff problem is this line?

I also have a lot of vacuum leaks in my system and my vacuum pump may be bad. Sometimes the engine will shut off correctly on days with high barometric pressure.....

my shutoff problems were solved by replacing the lines that run from the shut off valve to the key, and from the key out to the 3 way. They were just old and clogged with years of gook. Changed them (60 cents) and its been fine since.
