This is no longer available so we custom make this in our shop. This hard to find 5 way vacuum connector can be used to replace a worn or deteriorated factory connector you as an alternation you can use it to replace 2 - 3 way connectors where needed.
FITS THE FOLLOWING: 115, 116, 123, and 126 chassis. Here is a diesel item I have put together that every Mercedes diesel owner should have.
For all 4 and 5 cylinder diesel Mercedes 1969 to 1985 ( Except 190D)
FITS THE FOLLOWING: ALL 123 and 126 chassis 240D, 300D, 300TD, 300CD, and 300SD 1980 to 1985 with later style vacuum pump (only one line coming out of top). In 1980, Mercedes changed the design of its diesel vacuum pumps.
If your diesel engine is starting to shut off very slowly or maybe not at all and you know your vacuum system is ok, it may be time to replace the vacuum fuel shut-off valve located at the rear of the injection pump.
When was the last time you knocked one of your vacuum lines off around the oil filter housing, only to discover when you tried to reattached it that the fittings or hose were swollen and would just not stay connected?
This vacuum line is white and is 4 mm in size. It is used on all 107 108 109 110 111 113 114 115 116 123 124 126 chassis. You can use it to replace any hard vacuum line on the engine.
WARNING READ CAREFULLY: If your vacuum pump recently broke apart there may be a reason for it other than just a vacuum pump fatigue failure. When these pumps break up inside there is usually a problem with the drive mechanism inside the diesel engine.
If you own one of these old W116, W123 or early W126 diesel Mercedes at some point this most likely will happen to you.
I have chosen to call this a "partial" overhaul kit because full rebuild kits have been NLA for years. However, many of these pumps still need help, so I have assembled this kit to help owners restore some of their lost vacuum output.
Here is an easy DIY tip to repair a broken vacuum hose nipple on your main vacuum line running from the vacuum pump to the brake booster on the older diesel engines. $2TIP
Kent delivers a very detailed 24 minute video on understanding how this valve works and how to fix it if possible. You will learn how to recognize a valve that is just too worn out to repair. No bleeder valve repair parts are available and there is not way to DIY fix one if it is badly damaged.
The VCV valve controls the critical shifting patterns of most diesel automatic transmissions from 1978 to 1985. This includes the 1978 to 1985 300SD, the 1980 to 1985 W123 300D, 300CD and 300TD and the 1980 to 1983 240D.
Maybe your non-turbo automatic shifts just a little too early or a little too late? Maybe your turbo diesel transmission jerks a little too much or flares during shifts?
Kent will explain the theory of operation in simple terms, why it is so important for proper transmission shifting performance, and how to test it hooked up to the engine's vacuum system with the engine running.
These instructions will walk you through removing and reinstalling your pump from the engine, inspecting and opening the pump, mounting the pump, removing, inspecting and reinstalling the pump piston, installing new seals, check valves and cover plate.
W126 vacuum door locks on the 1981 to 1991 380SE 380SEL 300SD 500SEL 300SDL 420SEL 300SE, 300SEL 560SEL 350SD and 350SDL are prone to problems. For starters the systems are getting old, and with age comes common leaks and failed actuators.
Until now there has been no practical information for the DIYer to know how to test and replace their own vacuum 3/2 valve assemblies.
Downloadable PDF is 10 pages and includes step by step instructions and detailed photos to help you complete this job.
ONLY ONE LEFT. Good used activation rod and plastic clip as shown. Controls travel of vacuum control valve on the top rear of the injection pump. A plastic clip can easily break. May be some slight wear on the end of the metal rod but still usable.
This is the new Bosch plastic upgrade to replace the old metal style fuel stop solenoid or shutoff valve. This is located on the top rear section of the injection pump (right under the intake manifold). Sorry, no instructions included but it is a straight forward replacement.
Until now there has been no practical information for the DIYer to know how to test and replace their own vacuum 3/2 valve assemblies. There certainly been no inexpensive hose replacement kits. This new kit by Kent Bergsma solves both those problems.
I have never been impressed with the rubber vacuum hose found on older Mercedes diesels. I don't think the engineers ever anticipated how much abuse or how long these hoses would need to last!
Two replacement levers as shown. NOTE: Often the valves are still ok but the lever is worn off.

When was the last time you knocked one of your vacuum lines off around the oil filter housing, only to discover when you tried to reattached it that the fittings were swollen and would just not stay connected? This is a Y shaped fitting that fits 115, 116, 123, and 126 chassis.
When was the last time you knocked one of your vacuum lines off around the oil filter housing, only to discover when you tried to reattached it that the fittings were swollen and would just not stay connected? This is a U shaped fitting that fits 115, 116, 123, and 126 chassis.
Fits the following: All W116 W123 and W126 Chassis Diesels from 1977-1985. This is a brand new Genuine Mercedes Steering lock vacuum shut-off valve that is located on the back of your ignition lock assembly. We include 2 pieces of correct sized rubber vacuum hose as shown.
This is that little vacuum valve that always gets it nipples broken off... It is located right behind your thermostat housing on the 1981 to 1985 turbo diesel engines. It controls vacuum going to your EGR valve.
