The vacuum locks on my 1983 300TD had been sorted out and working perfectly - holding for 7+ days at a stretch, until two weeks ago. Now, although the car operates as always and shuts off quickly, the locking system poops out: in less than an hour, the doors wont all unlock or lock. I checked the MB service manual but the section on TD wagons shows a different configuration of lines under the RF and LF floor covers than in my vehicle. I have THREE upstream lines per side, not two as shown in the photos in the shop manual. I have no idea which of hte three goes where. :((
So I did what I usually do and removed three door panels nad checked the vacuum elements there and in the easily accessible fuel door locking element. The only clue i could come up with was that the fuel door locking element was receiving a very weak locking and unlocking signal. Yet, the RR door servo was fine. They were all perfectly fine! I could take off the LR door panel, but I am prettty sure that it will be OK as well. All the lines on this car are a total mystery to me. I need a tutor. [end of whine/rant].
