Re: [MBZ] 107 vacuum system
Does anyone have experience or a schematic for an 85 380SL 107 vacuum system? I am trying to troubleshoot an sl with hard operating door locks and a trans that started shifting harshly. Last week I found a vacuum leak Hadn't they switched to the electric pump system by then? For sure in '86 they had. Anyway, cork off the yellow line under the hood, that will disable the door system, if it's pure vacuum. Try this successively on all of them. (Green is ACC, etc.) Car ought to work well with only the brakes and the tranny hooked to vacuum. You need a MityVac if you own one of these cars. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] 107 vacuum system
This has yellow vacuum lines running all around, including one that disappears into the RF inner fender over the tire??? There are one or two that go through the firewall in the extreme left corner. I was planning to try pluggin those one at a time or all at once to see what happened. I found a vacuum cross right in front of that which was dry, so I changed that and sent her off to see if it helped any. No report yet.

Re: [MBZ] 107 vacuum system
The one going to the RF inner fender is going to the reservoir for vacuum. Older cars didn't have an electric pump like the 126 so they had a few reservoirs atshed away inside the car. Jeff Zedic Toronto
[MBZ] 107 vacuum system
Hi Everyone! Does anyone have experience or a schematic for an 85 380SL 107 vacuum system? I am trying to troubleshoot an sl with hard operating door locks and a trans that started shifting harshly. Last week I found a vacuum leak on the rt side of the engine, and fixing that seemed to make the trans shift better. This week the trans shifting got harsh again. I have looked for vacuum leaks and found none. I am thinking there may be a bad vacuum pod in a door. What is the easiest way to check these? Loren Faeth
