What about brakes? Did 116 have vacuum boost? If so, brakes would be
critical, IMO, and the vacuum booster is a possible leak source.

Based on the ice in the cabin, I am thinking the seals are shot, at least on
the sunroof. The better reason for it sitting, is that there are NO benz
mechanics to work on it. Stealership here began selling ML type rides and goes

Hoping it's not the vac pump again. Rebuilt it some years ago with a kit I got
from either Rusty or Jabba. Said it was getting scarce then, not sure if they
are still available now. It's a different type of pump than the W123s use even

I don't know the W116 but diagnosing 123/126 model vacuum is not hard. Miti
Vac, golf tees, vacuum diagram, and a short piece of rubber hose is all
that's needed. Access to all key junctions was under the passenger floor
mat. But even before that, visually inspect the lines in the engine
rims are ugly, toilet paper in back shelf, fat guy in background in

The AirMatic struts will cost you +$500/each in the aftermarket and without

Looking at close to $2k in parts, plus a lot of work, to make a $2k

fairly nice example minus the issues.
