Muted backfire/popping noise 91 350 SDL
When turning off the ignition switch on a warmed engine I hear a very muted backfire/popping noise from the engine compartment.
Any ideas?

1983 300SD vacuum diagnosis
Hi, All,
I have isolated a vacuum problem to the red/green plastic line that services (I think) interior switches and servos: with this red/green line attached to its fitting on the vac system, system pressure drops from 45m/g to 15m/g or less with the engine running. When the car is turned OFF, the line holds vacuum (??); when the car is ON, its as if it's open on the other end, bleeding off vacuum (brakes go hard after 2-3 pumps; engine won't shut off if at idle awhile).
Does this behavior suggest a specific component that I should go after?
Thanks in advance!

1985 w126 300sd cental locking system failure to lock
I have posted this question on a few other Mercedes Forums with no assistance. So...I have paid the 30 bucks for hopefully some light to be shed.
I have a strange problem with my central locks.
The problem I am having is that locking any controlling (driver passenger trunk)lock will cause all locks to unlock but it is impossible to lock the doors. I obviously have no leaks.
What I have so far.
I have run the pump on the bench and if I ground any of the 3 pins the pump pulls untill the vac switch makes. Then if I apply 12v to a pin the pump pushes until the press switch makes. This seems to make sense. Keep in mind I did not test the pump with a constant 12v on any pins and I will try that later today.
I also tested the wiring in the car and all is correct.

Nice video on 123 outside door handle removal!! How do you remove 125 o/s door handles? I assume you remove the door panel and go at it from the inside?
