Gearbox vacuum line

[rambo]

Lads. Looking information or pictures for my 500e gearbox vacuum lines please. Which line go from-to. Thanks

There's 1 single vacuum line from the back/top of the intake manifold, to the vac modulator on the transmission. Nothing else.

EDIT: As Gerry noted below, there is a vacuum line to the control pressure cable on the passenger side. For USA vehicles it is 1 line, and only enables cold upshift delay for catalyst heating. ROW vehicles have an additional line for the E/S (Economy/Standard) shift program (making it 3 total vac lines for non-USA models). If both lines to the control pressure cable are blocked or not connected, the transmission would still shift normally; there would be no cold up shift delay and shift program defaults to "standard" with no vacuum signal. Apologies for the oversight... I was thinking of vac lines which affect "normal" shifts at operating temp, for USA models, which is just the 1 on the driver side. My bad!


Vacuum diagram below is for North American models (USA/Canada) of W124+M119:

To my knowledge, there are two vacuum lines that go to the transmission on the E500.

1) Vacuum line that goes from the intake manifold to the vacuum modulator on the driver's side of the transmission.


2) For US cars with the upshift delay, a vacuum line that goes from the upshift delay switchover valve (driver's side engine compartment between the fuse box and brake booster) to the upshift delay vacuum actuator, on the passenger side of the transmission.


Cheers,

Not trying to confuse anyone, unless this variation is R129 specific, there can be 3 lines (depending on variation of the country of origin?)

1 modulator
1 upshift delay switchover
1 economy mode switchover



Is this applicable to any .036?

Correct. North American models do not have the economy mode, but ROW (Rest Of World) does. This applies to all .036 chassis.

It's why I caveatted my response above with "For US cars" ... as no US model W124 (V-8, diesel or I-6) ever had the E/S switch from the factory.
