If I remember right that tube goes to an oil trap off from the cam cover.

The vacuum gizmo is part of the vacuum circuit for the transmission. It's
used to modify the vacuum signal based on throttle position.
If it were 300 engine than I'd suspect that the pipe is the turbo oil
drain, but this is a 240 engine. Where does the other end of the pipe go?
Thanks,

Subject: [MBZ] Whats this stuff on my 240D
I have an engine I took out of a manual "83" 240D that I plan to rebuild
this fall. Its a Ca car if that makes any diff. Sorry I dont have a pic
of
this, but there is a vacuum gizmo on top of the IP that is hooked into
the
throttle linkage..Can anyone tell me what this is? Also there is a "pipe"
going into the top of the oil pan (passenger side of eng) Whats
this all about?? This engine was supposedly rebuild down in So Ca but it
used a qt of lub oil every 200 miles, and the gal (PO) got tired of adding
oil..Sooooo I bought it when it started knocking, pulled the eng and now I
will get around to investigating. I'm hopping the crank is not
toast..sigh,
;-)
