soymateo,
Your G is about 45 Vin numbers from mine. In fact, very much the same vehicle. What color is 72XX? (I am traveling and away from my G source files.) The only other G that I have found with such a close VIN belonged/belongs to Gari Stohl, of the Stohl beer family. He wrote an account of his two stage trip to the tip of South America in The MB STAR magazine, and later wrote a book that is offered here (I think?), as I recall. His G was also very close to my VIN. Maybe you have his vehicle?
Mine has a number of changes since new, including alloy wheels, flares, cruise control, wood veneer on dash. I did not see rear window washer on your VIN card, and the two schematics seem not to address the rear window washer. The second schematic is for the early 460 with the foot pump, and only washed the windshield. On my first G, a 1980 Cabrio, I recall the electric pump only washed the headlights.
Good luck. I too am fighting a leak in my tank. Replaced the gaskets years ago, but that only partially fixed that issue. Still can only fill the tank 3/4 full.
Good luck.
