Omega General Help / 2.2 HBV vacuum feed
« on: 29 July 2022, 11:51:09 »
Have removed a leaky HBV on a 2003 2.2 16V. Bit of pain to get the hoses disconnected. Anyway the HBV came out with the vacuum tube still attached. It seems that we accidentally pulled the other end out of it's rubber connector. It's only 5 inches long, so wherever it connects must be very close by.
Am I correct that the mating connector is on the bulkhead somewhere around the heater matrix pipes?
Is it just a rubber socket? And is it flush, recessed or protruding?
Is it just a matter of pushing the tube into the rubber or might the rubber socket have disappeared into the cabin?
I imagine that it would be easier to see what's going on if we disconnect the matrix pipes from the bulkhead. That said, I'm reluctant to risk disturbing them for fear of creating another leak. What's the secret to getting them to disconnect, if it comes to it?
Thanks
