That's horrifying. Lovely weld job in the picture of the new rear
window and fuel filler... or is that just a big fat bead of silicone
holding everything together back
You gotta admit though that it is a rather engaging corruption.

Conceptually, it's VERY engaging. I had a vanagon Westfalia
Turbodiesel until very recently, (which I lived in a couple months a
year on multithousand mile business
Per the list suggestion, took off the cover plate and turned the top
(single) check valve around (as it should be, noticeable from looking at
it), put it back together, got vac but still would not shut off.
Further diagnosis showed one broken hose, replaced that, it still would
not shut off.
I was thinking about it last night, and I think you are correct. The
one valve by itself is probably the one that needs to be flipped, though
I put them all back in the same as they came out, (I am pretty sure of
that). I guess we will fool with it a bit again today, try to just take

Vac pump on the 84 300SD was not sucking, so the boy and I rebuilt it
this afternoon/evening. Fired the car up and NO VACUUM! Well, only
about 4psi on the MityVac gauge. Not sure what the problem is now.
Looked like one of the check valves in the pump was munched, we replaced
everything in
Oh, one other thing, I am wondering if the cam thingie on the engine is

If the engine is running, that thing has to be turning.
You can discern how the check valves are supposed to be
in just by thinking about how the pump has to work.
And you can test it
In replacing my rear breake line I also found several
leaks in the fuel lines where the rubber buffers are.
The buffers are great places for dirt and water to be
held in place to corrode these lines over time.
For the past month I've been seraching out fuel lines.
Mercedes no longer makes them.
