RE: [doc] Vacuum System

["Daniel Willis" <danielpwillis@xxxx>]

Kevin,

I cannot honestly say one way or the other.. the heater controls have 
certainly worked in the past but Martin noticed I had quite a bad vacuum 
leak when he was last in the car... so, your answer is probably no.
Since I know relatively little about this system I am going to assume that 
without a working system - quite a few things would be affected? (Brakes 
etc?)
