probs with my car

i got a 92 400se

recently, i took offf the driver side rear tire to get a nail taken out and patched. came back put back on again. now, with the weather being colder when driving around its squeeking! loud. like its a real old car, it only squeaks in the area where i took off the tire! no where else.

second problem. the driver side door is not "sucking" in anymore. is this expensive to fix? i think the passenger side is wanting to do so as well Shocked

third. few months back i had a new belt put on my benz techs. i've had to take it two times cause it would go lose and/or squeak. now, its squeaking again. does it take time to adjust?

im thinking of selling this car. as they are prone for problems

Had the same - the drivers door not "sucking".
The vacuum pump worked well, as the rest of three doors worked OK 100% of times.

The reason was a micro switch that activates the "sucking". This switch is a part of the lock (and the lock itself is quite expensive), but they were able to easily do something to this switch only and now it works fine.

Microswitch maybe, but far fetched
