Could anyone kindly explain to me the purpose of the mixing chamber that is situated on the right of the rocker cover on an 2000 A170D. It has a vacuum pipe going to it with a rubber sleeve joiner.

On our car, the idle is very rough, and the car stalls a lot, but if you disconnect the vacuum pipe all is well. I have put a piece of pipe on
it and and sucked, but it appears blocked. Should I be able to draw air
thru it, and can it be cleaned out??

The guys at my local MB dealership are not very forthcoming, only to say that
a new one is £85 + VAT and fitting.

Thanks..
