overherebc Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Can anyone explain why an oil filter bracket has a vacuum line attached and where the other end should attach. On mine it's been disconnected when the engine was taken out and now no-one knows where it should go. Older Mercedes 110 series engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirholly Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 most likely not a vacuum line, but the oil pressure gauge line going to the instrument cluster in the dashboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlees in the past someone decided plastic was good enough to do the job. See attached photo, the part is dead centre. Thanks, it does give me something to go ahead on.

overherebc Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Turns that the filter housing has been changed and is not original for that engine and it is for oil pressure. Will re-do with a better connection. Don't really fancy most of the engine oil behind the dasboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
