Datsolow Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Hi there all I've a 2.0 s turbo and a pipe has come off ite one of the small vacuum pipes behind the alternator, going off under inlet manifold on right side ..... Don't know where it came from , car runs lumpy and won't drive I'm gutted . A diagram would be useful , thanks in advance .
savage bulldogs Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Could you post a pic of which pipe isn't connected and someone might know where it goes .
stants Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Pic of my97 car shouldn't be a great deal of variations between years
savage bulldogs Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Here's a diagram of the basic vac lines but It doesn't include all of them (ie charcoal canister ect )
Datsolow Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Hi it's the pipe coming out of left manifold under spark lead heading off under right side manifold rear
savage bulldogs Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 A pic would be ideal as the vacuum system is fairly complicated and differs with each version . It does sound like it's in the fuel vapour canister area . Can you see it in this pic if you zoom in ? The canister is the round cylinder bottom left (as you stand in front of the engine bay) with 3 vacuum lines on top
Datsolow Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Cheers I will check, it doesn't help that it's plumbed for lpg so lots of pipes
Datsolow Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 The pipe goes under the right side inlet manifold to where is the problem
savage bulldogs Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Has the dv (blue thing) got a vacuum pipe attached to the end? Otherwise it might go to the purge valve under the inlet
stants Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 If all else fails I can chase mine back for you ?
Datsolow Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Yes blue thing connected to purge pipe , if you could chase it back would be great thanks
stants Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 No worries give me an hour and I'll go take some pics for you
stants Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Right my engine is different my coils are in the centre, so maybe you have a v4/5? Based engine, I've chased the one that looks like it could be the same but it's a nightmare goes back towards the idle control valve housing then does a u turn under the manifold. In there somewhere ! If it's the other side it runs to the electrics going into the boost solinoid
Datsolow Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 My coil packs are on top , I'm going to buy a bore scope and see what I can see . Fingers crossed I will be drifting by lunch
stants Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 If it's this side It's the middle pipe on the diagram savage posted up it goes to a denso module under the boost solinoid
Datsolow Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 Cheers I've searched net but no vac diagrams anywhere , I suppose too many variations also lpg pipes add to my stress
Scoobyghost Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Just my pennies worth here. Could you whip the intercooler off to give yourself a better veiw of where it could possibly go?
Datsolow Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 So Just my pennies worth here. Could you whip the intercooler off to give yourself a better veiw of where it could possibly go? I'm in process of removal thanks 2
Datsolow Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 New vac pipes turned up today I'm going to replace all.
savage bulldogs Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Have you tried cleaning or blanking the dump off as it could be that leaking
Datsolow Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Any joy ? Bought a inspection camera still no joy I'm thinking of ringing rac at least the fault codes will indicate vacuum fault .
