Just had my engine rebuilt by the local mercedes experts(?) here in Kuwait. My car is 1987 190 2.0L carb model which did not get imported to the US. The rebuild went just fine. However they did not get the vacuum line routing anywhere near correct and they say everything is working fine but it is not. The vacuum routing to the tranny and distributor are major concern. I don't remember the exact routing but I know the way they routed them is not correct. Anyone know where I can get a schematic or does anyone have time to walk me through how to get them correct. I have 2 haynes manuals but they dont provide the info and manuals were not put on CD for this model.

you could ask someone who owns a similar car to yours for a quick peek under the bonnet-that way you could see how the vacuum pipes are routed.

or ask some to post a picture on this site if they have a digital camera with the appropriate software.
