Wow, Oscar! THANKS FOR THE PICTURE! In the states, we have an expression that 'a picture is worth a thousand words' and yours is worth more than that! (:->

And yes, Koan, I appreciate the explanation on the vacuum lines and reservoirs and yes, my vehicle is set up as you described with the UT vacuum line tapping into the door lock lines.

Some US 280s have vacuum pumps which act only as boost for the power brakes. Mine happens to run off the passenger side camshaft, something nearly every W123/W116 person has never seen before lol  :D
