Mercedes 61x Diesel Vacuum 3/2 Way Valve Troubleshooting and Hose Replacement Kit

Until now there has been no practical information for the DIYer to know how to test and replace their own vacuum 3/2 valve assemblies. There certainly been no inexpensive hose replacement kits. This new kit by Kent Bergsma solves both those problems. Most of the 3/2 assemblies on old diesels are totally shot and desperately need a complete overhaul. The challenge was to find just the right vacuum hose to make all the sharp bend hose connections without kinking. The solution has been found!

Kit includes the following:

• Adequate special hose to fabricate all new internal 3/2 hoses
• 1 rubber end plug (used on some but not all assemblies)
• Complete illustrated wire-bound instructions - so they stay open on your workbench!

Here are some before (left) and after (right) pictures of a recent overhaul Kent did on a 300TD TWIN 3/2 assembly:
