I've got the dreaded leaking recirculate vacuum actuator on one of my 240's. Has anyone ever repaired this crazy thing? Currently I have the dash removed and changed the blower motor as PM. I just can't seem to get the motivation to go after the vacuum actuator buried deep within the heater box. I found out a tennis ball works good as a prop to keep the flap in the fresh air position. My choices are to fix it, leave it alone and use a tennis ball to open the flap or to install a cable to control the opening and closing.
