Install 2 filters. The first one from the vacuum shutoff to the ignition key and the second from the vacuum pump to brake booster line, on one of the 2 lines that comes off it. These 2 positions will tell you if the shutoff vallve or the vacuum pump is leaking before it gets into the components and ruins them. Here is the 240D with them installed. I used a lawnmower filter. good size and small.
