     Good point.  I have an old refrigerator compressor that I use for
     evacuating my A/C systems.  It will pull 30" Hg.  All or none.  Would
     I have any worries about the diaphragms in the solenoids with that
     much vacuum?  I have found the green cannister shaped reservoir in the
     boot and I suppose there is the usual suspect (9 or so globe shapes
     together) hiding in one of the front fenders.  Any others?


     Anyone have a Bentley for an '84 4000S quattro for sale?

     Thanks,

Don't forget that there are reservoirs in the system.  I don't know how
much you would have to pump with a MityVac to get a measureable vacuum.
