This is very good advice for someone wanting to minimize repair costs... before you replace the valve, be sure it is broken!

This is about the very first advice given concerning the car not shutting off.

Last year during a winter cold spell, my 77 300d began to suffer from a vacuum leak. Not having a garage and unwilling to trace down a vacuum leak outside in the cold weather, I put a rubber vacuum hose on the shut off valve and ran it out the hood at the cowling, leaving a few inches dangling there so I didn't have to open the hood every time I needed to shut off the engine. I'd give a couple of quick sucks and off it would go.

As if he'd really pay to ship it?
![]() I must say, the thought of my favorite mercedes philosopher/theologian, generating enough vac. (himself) to shut off his car....is well, as Brian put it, priceless.

My wife was unwilling to drive the car under those circumstances even after I showed her how she could shut if off while feigning an inspection of the windshield wipers.

If your real cheap, just pop the hood and shut it down manualy.

No seals to fix
Ok, I get the picture. I thought maybe it had some silly little 5 cent rubber seal or O-ring that needed replaced, but from what I'm reading, it's all got to go. I picked up the part and ready to install it.

Did you confirm that the problem actually lies in the shut off valve by testing the valve by itself independent of the rest of the vacuum system?
