VACUUM LEAKS FOR DOORS. W124 300E 1992 M103 SEDAN
Hey guys. I Assume I have a leak in my vacuum hoses for the doors central locking. front doors lock and back left does to, but back right doesn't. it seems when i unlock the doors, the 3 doors unlock but as soon as i start the car straight away and rev it a bit. then it unlocks easy. so i am guessing a slight leak and not enough air to go threw hose to push it up.

does anyone have a 300e 1992 m103 w124 vacuum hose diagram, i can use to check for all leaks in this car. cheers...

i have not tested it, but tryed blowing on each hose singley and oiling the bars so they move easyer but now when put back together none of the doors lock and unlock. must of pulled a hose out or sumdin, if i blow on the hoses singley from the hose unit under back seat drivers side, they unlock and lock. could that mean its the vacuum unit buggerd?

dj did you start your car when you tried it.It may be you have no vacuum in the system. If you remove a tube it will loose the vacumm thats in you tank.

Hi,

How do l ensure it is the actual Front Lock Cylinder leaking and not just the hydraulic hoses or their attachment
to the front cylinder?

Appreciate any help here.

Paul
