What is this?
Looks like a filter for the vacuum lines to me... is this correct? It seems pretty dirty - any ideas on why it is so clogged up? Also - I can't seem to find this part at the fastlane. It is marked with the Mercedes star, then 0000780656. The opposite side is marked 45 00158 901. Anyone know if there is a Bosch/Mann/Mahl equivalent I could order from my local parts store? Thanks!
-John

Standard after market filter
Hello John
Go to your local auto parts store, it is a standard after market filter. Pull the filter and take it in with you. I get the same filter; as a VW fuel filter from local generic auto part stores (Fuel filter Purolator# F21124). Total cost; under $3.00 USD. It is used as a vacuum system filter, just read a post on it yesterday, can not recall the issue that damaged the filter.

Hi John.
Do you have any problems shutting the car off? If yes then this might be a clue as to why it is so dirty. The only reason that someone would put a filter in the vacuum system is to filter out oil that is present. Do a search on the shut off valve and the vac pump. Plenty of info on why and where the oil is entering the vac system. Louis. |

the shut off valve, that was the topic.
Hello John
The filter is an OEM installed part on my 1985 300SD. mb123mercedes is right; I recall the topic was the shut off valve. |

It's not really there as a filter. It's there to alert you tp the presence of oil in the vacuum system, like from a leaking vacuum pump.
