Hey Guys,
 
I\'ve been looking at the FD3S Vacuum diagram and i have a question. If you follow the green pipe from the double throttle control actuator it goes down underneath the plenum to a Vacuum box. This is fine and is the same on the car.
 
Now follow the pipe from the otherside of this vacuum box and its supposed to lead somewhere! but i dont know where!
 
Can anyone help me find where its meant to go? Its just an empty pipe and if im not mistaken if it leads to no where then the vacuum box cant create a vacuum. So it must go somehwere.
 
Or if anyone has a pic if it from their car?
 
Itll be worth a :guinness
 
:cheers

think it mite go to a small filter that pushs into the pipe, not got it any more so cant check it for you

Its ok thanks anyways, i managed to find out where it goes. Its goes straight down between two pipes on the end of the vacuum lines in the rats nest. Hard to spot and hard to get too but its there.
 
Although its not done a blind bit of difference :( back to the drawing board to see if there is a leak somewhere.

adib

you still got the old black pipes on the rats nest

Mikey22

Yes i have. I think its all original and after being sat for 2 years at least i think all the pipes are a bit brittle.

If you blow this up and print it out, hopefully this will help
