With regards to the servo to vacuum pump hose, where there is a 't-piece' that leads to the EGR solenoid, can this 't-piece' simply be removed and replaced with a straight-through hose connector? Surely that would be a simple, neat way to satisfy the issue of blanking plugs/replacing with a difficult to source new hose that is already straight-through/loose and redundant parts remaining in the engine bay? Has anyone tried this?
