Title: V6 Vaccum Hoses
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 08 April 2007, 22:51:34
One job for project Elite tomorrow, is to sort out the vaccum hoses. I want them all to go in the right places, for best operation.

I've seen Mark's diagrams, which look totally clear, but I have one concern.

On the Servo to plenum pipe - I have broken off one of the connections for a vaccum hose - so I'm left with only one. The same applies to the CDX :(

I presume, even if only short term, I would be OK to use a T peice on the remaining outlet to overcome this?

t piece is fine even long term.

Block up the broken hole though.

I would

a) Block up the broken bit with a short screw and some sealent....
b) Remove the vac pipe that feeds the air injection vac solenoid mounted on the radiator
c) Connect the multiram vac pipe and climate/heating vac pipe via a T-piece to the remaining connection.
d) Un-plug the air injection pump under the passenger side wing....

Jobs a good un....
