Cyberfarmer Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi to all! Im trying to figure out what the route of each vacuum pipe go to and from. I took off the acoustic cover of the engine and found that there is a loose vacuum pipe with filter from the turbo side and the T-joint along the vacuum line from the reservoir has been blanked off by a screw. Also, are there vent pipes located behind the air cleaner assy just behind the mafam? I dont know if the two should be joined together but I just want to make sure I install everything right before costing me something big. Thanks guys.

Llanigraham Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Could it be that someone has disconnected the thin pipe to the EGR valve? Photo might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberfarmer Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Here are the pix of the vacuum line: 1. I intentionally removed the vacuum hose to the EGR and blanked it off, got the idea from the forum and the effect was good. 2. When I opened the acoustic cover, I saw this filter attached to one of the vacuum hose from the turbo, there was no hose attached to the other end of the filter. I only attached a hose on the other end just recently. (pic 1) ....and from the other side on the vacuum line, the T-Joint was blanked off. I only attached a hose just recently. (pic 2) ....what I did was to connect the hose from Pic 1 (filter end) to pic 2 (t-joint). Is this right? I noticed when I attached the two, I could hear the turbo spool better, the revs go up faster, 0-120km/h was faster but I couldn't pass the 120km/h mark, is there a speed limiter? Am I missing a vacuum line? Is this related to the valve depression limiter filter problem? 3. Lastly, I want to ask if these are breather pipes or vacuum lines?

Llanigraham Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The pipe with the filter on the end should be open at the top end. It is a breather pipe for the IRD (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
