Product Description:
Do you work on cars or anything else around the house that you want to
keep your hands clean? This kit will fit all Human Hands
Russell's Review of
the Nitrile Mechanics Gloves :
These gloves are fantastic! I use LOTS of
these working on any car repair or project. If you are sick and
tired of getting black oil, grease, dirt or any other yuck on your
hands, then these are a must have in your tool box. I have used
Nitrile gloves for years. Superior to Latex gloves especially if
you are alergic to latex. Powder free, thick enough not to tear
and thin enough to handle even the smallest nut or bolt you may want to
hold. I use them everyday and my hands thank me!
One size fits all.

Gloves includes:

Vacuum
Door Lock Check Valve
Price: $24.50
S&H: $Free
|
Product Description:
If your door locks are not working or you
seem to have a leak in the system, then this is a great place to start
the repair. If you still have your original check valve then it is
time to replace it with a new one. This valve lets vacuum only go
one way and if it leaks, then it will drain your main vacuum tank.
This kit will fit all 123 body Mercedes with the diesel engine. Please give year, make
model and VIN # when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of
the Vacuum check valve Kit :
These valves were not designed to last a life
time. If you find that your door locks don't work or your vacuum
system won't hold vacuum overnight, then your check valve might be
leaking. To really overhaul your vacuum system order a set of the
vacuum connectors as well to whip your system back into leak free
territory.
The Vacuum check valve
includes:
|
Diesel
Vacuum Dashpot for the Transmission
Price: $25.50
S&H: $Free
|
Product Description:
This is the restrictor required to meter
the proper HG's of vacuum to your transmission. Connects to the
tranny switching valve on the injection pump. If your is leaking
or not there anymore the transmission will not shift properly.
This kit will fit all 123 and 126 body Mercedes 1980-1985 with the
diesel engine. Please give year, make
model and VIN # when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of
the Vacuum Dashpot Kit :
Another good reason to replace this is
proper transmission shift function. A leaking or mission dashpot
will cause hard shifting or erratic shifting.
The Vacuum Dashpot includes:
|
Diesel
Vacuum Connector Kit
Price: $50.00
S&H: $Free
|
Product Description:
I went through the parts bins to pull out
a good useable assortment of
vacuum connectors for your diesel engine. Leaking connectors and
check valves are the number 1 reason for having vacuum problems. This kit will fit all
115, 116, 123 and 126 body Mercedes with the diesel engine. Please give year, make
model and VIN # when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of
the Vacuum Connector Kit :
I have seen more vacuum problems over the
years due to cars still running with the factory original vacuum
connectors. This is the main reason for a host of problems like,
door locks not working, improper climate control functions, vacuum leak
down overnight, erratic shifting transmission and on and on. Oil
and engine heat hardens and swells the rubber and they WILL leak.
They are not meant to last a lift time. Order one for your car and
order a second one as a spare in your tool box. If you have a
slightly different vacuum configuration, let me know and I will put
together a custom kit for you.
The Vacuum Connector
Kit includes:
-
One (1) three way
connector
-
One (1) four way
connector.
-
One (1) 90 degree
bend connector.
-
One (1) 120 degree
bend connector.

Russell's Review of the
Vacuum Pump Check Valve:
When rebuilding your vacuum pump its a good idea
to replace the brass check valve in the top of the pump. They will
fail over time and prevent the vacuum pump from pulling a vacuum on your
system.
The Vacuum Pump
Check Valve includes:
|
Transmission
Vacuum Valve Lever kit
Price: $28.99
S&H: $1.00
|
Product Description:
Replace
those vacuum valve levers to help restore smooth shifting in your turbo
diesel. These are high quality OEM type parts that fit
perfect. Most owners don't even know the levers exist, hence never
replace them. Since they are plastic, they will wear out over
time. They are located on the top of the valve cover, under the
black plastic box with vacuum lines running to it. The levers are
sold as a pair. This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models 123 that use the vacuum
levers.
Russell's Review
of the Transmission Vacuum Valve Levers :
This
is a very simple do-it-yourself project. Every 84 and older Turbo
Diesel I have seen, has had worn levers in them. I have replaced
so many for my cars and others, that I decided to do a pictorial on how
to replace them on the Mercedes diesel maintenance tips page.

went to replace your vacuum levers and discovered the mounting ears
broken, this is what you need. This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models 123 that use the vacuum
levers.
Russell's Review
of the 3/2 Vacuum Switch :
This
is a very simple do-it-yourself project. Every 84 and older Turbo
Diesel I have seen, has had worn levers in them. If the mounting
ears are cracked or broken, you will have to replace the entire
switch. Most cars have 2 switches piggy backed on the valve
cover.

3/2 Vacuum Switch Kit includes:

Rubber Vacuum Manifold
Connector

Product Description:
Do your
vacuum lines pop out of your manifold connector on top of the valve
cover? This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models 123 that use the vacuum
levers.
Russell's Review
of the Rubber Vacuum Manifold Connector :
The
rubber vacuum connector is where the lines plug into the 3/2 switch via
the connector. In the pic it is to the left of my finger. If you
plastic vacuum lines come out easily then you definately have a vacuum
leak and need to replace it. Easy to do comes with the front and
back side.
The
Rubber Vacuum Manifold Connector Kit includes:

Vacuum Element for Center
Vents
Price:$55.00
S&H: $4.50
|
Product Description:
Does you
air NOT blow out of the center vents very well? This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models 123 that use the vacuum
levers.
Russell's Review
of the Vacuum Element for Center Vents :
If your
air is NOT blowing out of the two center vents with much force then the
door is only partially open. Leaky vacuum elements will cause this
to occur. Not having this element will cause other problems in the
vacuum system and can cause air to blow at the windshield when not in
deforost mode. Easy to do when your remove the glove box
liner.
The
Vacuum Element for Center Vents includes:
|
Hard Plastic Vacuum Line
(small diameter)
Price: $12.50
S&H: $2.50
|
Product Description:
Are some of your vacuum
lines cracked or missing? This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models most Mercedes models.
Russell's Review
of the Hard Plastic Vacuum Line:
Is your
hard plastic vacuum lines cracked, broken or missing? Replace them
with new line. German made plastic line comes in clear only, but
stopping vacuum leaks is the main priority. These lines run all
over the engine compartment and years of heat, oil fumes and vibration
take their toll on plastic.
This line is NOT the
large diameter line that runs throughout the interior of the car.
The
Hard Plastic Vacuum Line includes:

Russell's Review
of the Door Lock Vacuum Box:
The vacuum box inside the door is what actually moves the door locks.

replace, just pull off the door panel and its right there.
