I think we should get some facts straight here:

1, No Volvo has ever been fitted from factory with vacuum operated central locking. Anyone who says they have is wrong. Vacuum operated central locking does not work and was only tried on a few cheap cars. I know Saab never used them and I very much doubt Mercedes did.

Do you count Audi as a cheap car? I know for a fact they used them in the early 80's on their cars. My dad had a 1980 Audi 5000.

Mercedes W123 series cars (240D in early 80's) also had vacuum operated central locking systems.

The system works, but it is not the best method to use for the application.
