Thanks all for the help. I'm under the hood now playing detective. John

Yes, use the MitiVac -- must hold vac indefinitely when applied, and it should shut the car off in a pump or two. Watch for slow leakdown -- they get pinholes and you will shortly go from slow to no shutoff. Check the line for oil -- if there is any, you will have to flush the line and column switch, else the rubber rots badly and you will be doing another repair. Those plastic lines are brittle by now, so be careful -- I've had to splice quite a few, in particular the supply line for the shutoff (brown plastic). That one in particular is long and subject to vibration (assuming similar routing on a 602 -- up around under the tranny vac control blue thing and around). Check all the rubber connectors on the hard plastic lines, they are likely either soft and porous or hard and shrunk, and hence leaking by now. Cures all sorts of ills, such as ACC problems, slow shutoff, hard shifts, etc. Peter _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
