v6 vacum pipes
« on: 10 December 2008, 15:37:31 »
im still haing trouble with the heater controls in the car which i was told was the vacum pipes
ive looked on the guides on this site about the layout and ive had a good look at my car and cant make head or tales of it all :-?

the set up in the diagram looks different to the set up on my car

any ideas anyone or does anyone live close enough to pop by and have a look

Vacuum pipes? Really?

More likley to be a blocked heater or duff Heater Bypass Valve. Have you checked coolant level?

if the problem is with the direction you want the air to point to (eg. floor/vents/screen) then it IS the vaccum pipes that control this function, I know as one of my cars will only blow on the screen, >95 had a diffferent layout of vaccum pipes than 96> so I cant even copy the layout from one of my other cars, frustrating!  >:(

The motor noise is the air injection pump and plays no part in this setup.

There is a diagramatic view in the miantenance section for how both the early and late setups SHOULD be

i looked at that set up and where the 2 pipes from the air filter box comes up from the bottom end of the car to the top of the engine there is an extra t piece where 1 pipe goes down to a little box of sum sort
