Hello W140 forum,
I recently became the happy owner of a 300SD (1993). I am in the process of changing all fluids and filters and generally assessing the car.
I have discovered that the vacuum-assist closure for the two front doors and the trunk does not work (the two rear doors work O.K.). Also the rear left door lock (button up/down) doesn't work. Am I looking at seperate vacuum problems(leaks?) or are several problems associated with a faulty vacuum pump?
One other problem: The steering wheel will adjust (in/out) but not tilt(up/down).
The car has 153K miles on the clock and runs fine. What preventive maintenance (e.g, timing chain) should I be considering at this point?
Thanks for this forum and all its contributors.
Rob
