What drove you to try this technique? I'd never have thought such a
thing.
Did anything come out with the drill bit when you did it? Some
little bit of schmutz plugging the line?

FOLKS
I haven't been really happy with how my 1982 300td has been running,
shifting, shutting off, etc for quite a while, but the car has been
soldiering on.
Saturday, I took about a 3/32" drill bit and reamed out the holes in
the vacuum fitting on the main vacuum line between the vacuum pump and
the brake booster. Mine is the style with the plastic fitting with two
nipples that supply most of the vacuum system.
