So, I was looking though the W126 repair CD trying to find a picture of a vacuum hose so my wife could take it to the dealer to order a new one.

I find a small picture, looks like a picture of a sticker and it shows the routing of all the vacuum hoses (well, not all of them, but most of them). I blow it up and print it out in order to trace mine out.

Needless to say, all of the hoses going to the Central Vacuum Connector are plugged in different than the picture shows.....so I change 'em at 11:30 pm using a flashlight.

Test drive blows my mind...wow, what a difference in low end power, more responsiveness at the high end too. Kickdown works better.

Wierd part, my oil pressure is now 1/2 bar lower than normal? Typically I'm touching the bottom side of the 2 bar line, but now I'm at about 1.55 bar.

Any ideas?

I'll post the diagram I used as soon as I can find it again...I found it by clicking on the pdf files rather than following the prompts on the HTM files.
