 The vacuum assist for the doors was
also bad.  One door (passenger) was not able to be fixed without

the mechanic suggested to just live without vacuum assist for that

what is a vacuum assist ?

These cars have a vacuum assist mechanism to help close the doors.
I've seen several MB model cars with this feature, I think it's an
option on some models.
Not all MB cars have this.
