[W126 Coupe] Vacuum System Information

[L&D gardner]

Hi Folks

First off,Thanks to every one who has given me information regarding the vac 
system I really appreciated it,it doesn't seem quite so baffling now as when 
I first started.

I discovered  an electrical switch that's seems to be missing a line while 
under the dash ,I was in the process fitting the new expansion valve that 
arrived from the US,or should I say trying to fit as three went in OK but 
the forth fitting is refusing to thread in by hand,so I am going to remove 
them and fit the tricky one first.
Last time under the dash I didn't have enough padding across the sill and I 
ended up with sore ribs and back for a few days, this time I have custom 
made sponge padding that fits the floor and over the sill.

                                                                             
           Kind Regards  Dan

Hey Dan

Would like some photos ive taken of the ACC vaccum tubes which might help
with identifying the color codes. However they are quiet large. If your
mail can take a 22MB mail then reply me.

Cheers
Yousef

Here are some part numbers that I have gleaned over the years, on the 
various vacuum line colors:

Vacuum Lines

A 000 158 88 35
clear w/ brown stripe vacuum line plastic
A 000 158 93 35
clear w/ black stripe vacuum line plastic
A 000 158 91 35
clear w/ light blue stripe vacuum line plastic
A 000 158 96 35
solid purple w/ brown stripe vacuum line plastic
A 000 158 14 35
clear vacuum line plastic
A 000 158 01 35
solid purple w/ black stripe vacuum line plastic
A 000 158 90 35
clear w/ yellow stripe vacuum line plastic
A 000 158 99 35

A 000 158 89 35
clear w/ red stripe vacuum line plastic
A 000 158 98 35

I don't know how accurate the numbers are, nor their availability.
