Hi Everyone. My car has sat in my garage sadly for almost 8 months without moving. I know its a horrible thing to do to my poor car. 1983 240DL in mint condition. My personal mechanic called it quits after COVID and now teaches. I have been stuck trying to fix certain items myself. I started the car up few months ago, and the engine starting to shake violently. I assume it might be a vacuum hose issue but this is too technical for me to figure out.
Started the car up today to move it out of the garage and get the fluids moving. I have 0 brakes. Peddle is to the floor. Looked at the reservoir for brake fluid and its empty. Nothing is dripped under the car so I assume i just went poof. Filled it up to the right line, and then pumped the brake peddle. I get nothing. Could this be the brake booster gone bad? What other tricks or tips I can do to test this myself. I am reluctant to take it to another independent dealer, since my personal mechanic touched my car for 20 years. I really trust no one else.
