Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone happened to have a vacuum diagram for a 380 sel.

I suspect I have a vacuum leak as I have flaring when shifting from 2nd to 3rd but if I shift "manually" its quite a firm shift. I have changed the ATF/filter and K1 spring.

I also noticed that when stationary if i press the brake pedal shortly after the engine seems to change idle for a short period as if its under load.


Thanks
Ivan
 
Any ideas on this or where I may find the answer?

Also as a side note why are some people so keen to reach 30 posts to be able to PM.

Is there something exciting going on in PM's:dk:
 
Hi, I think you might struggle to get a vacuum diagram. You might be able to get bits of it that relate to what you need. How friendly is your local dealer? Mine has printed me sections of it before, but it only seems to come in sections - ie not a whole car vacuum diagram.
 
Thanks guys.

I have to go to the dealer to pick up a few bits, so may enquire then. The parts guy seemed quite happy to help when I was chatting to him so hopefully I can get some info from him that way.

I have found a couple of diagrams but they dont seem quite complete but here they are in case they are of any use to someone else

Oh does any one know what vacuum reading I should be getting at idle?

I took the feed from the brake booster and at idle it was about 16hg, if revved it would go up to about 20

Thanks

Ivan
