chris200100 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I've got a ball shaped thing on the passenger side inner wing next to the washer bottle and coil, what is it for????? and can I remove it???? There are two small pipes going to it which seem to be vacum pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Sounds like your vacum for an LPG system.................If your running on LPG then i'd say no, dont move it or take it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 does it look like this ball in the bottom right corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 It's for the cruise, as far as I know, if it doesn't work then yes, you can remove it, just make sure to plug an hoses as it attaches to the plenum, and will cause a vacuum leak and lumpy running!

Guest noggy Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 its the vacuum reserve tank for the heater, follow the pipe behind the engine (other pipe to the plenum one) and it goes into the back of your heater, so operate the vacuum thingymabob you can remove it, but plug the hole on top of the plenum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 As said it is a vacuum reservoir and operates the air flaps in the heater so you can direct air up to the screen or down to your feet. If you disconnect it then the heater controls will not work. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbarclay Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 It may vary on vintage, but on mid/late 80's RRC the vacume operate actuator on the heater only contolled the reciculate/fresh air flap, up/down being on a mechanical linkage direct to the contol leaver. Without the vacume supply its stuck permenantly on recirculate unless you do like what happened to one of the RRC at home, which had the actuator removed allowing the flap to flop down giving pemenant fresh air.
