[Woofy85 300DT]

Ok, I have decided to give my vacuum system the once over with hose, valves, and dashpots. I have seen that DieselGiant offers a kit with a 5-way and I can't find one of these in my system. I called them and he assured me that a 1985 300dt absolutly has a 5-way and if not someone has jacked with it. I am the 2nd owner and the original owner has maticulous records and only had it serviced at the dealer. So I am pretty sure no one has jacked with it. Can anyone tell me if this is true, is there a 5-way? Do I need to combine some connections or something. If anyone can provide pictures of this system that would be great. I was told that many changes were made to the "85 models. MercedesSource also offers a kit without a 5-way so I am really confused. I have a hard time with the diagrams so if you have several pictures that would be preferred. Thanks.

I just ordered exactly what I needed from the dealer...I never found a 5 way on my 85 Coupe.

My coupe has a five way, sedans and wagons do not. The extra connection goes to the front seat back lock(s). Which usually don't work.
Not sure of '85's.

You have an "84 and from what I understand there were several changes in the vacuum system from "84 to '85.

Can anyone else help here?

That doesn't surprise me.
Anyone with an '85 can look around under hood?

Thanks ::matthew, you would think a Cali to have more gizmos, am I not seeing everything? I can't find a five way. However on a coupe, there may be one. Most folks use a series, like just above part #72.
