February 15, 201510 yr 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 .
February 16, 201510 yr Could you post a pic of which pipe isn't connected and someone might know where it goes .
February 16, 201510 yr Here's a diagram of the basic vac lines but It doesn't include all of them (ie charcoal canister ect )
February 16, 201510 yr Author Hi it's the pipe coming out of left manifold under spark lead heading off under right side manifold rear
February 16, 201510 yr 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
February 18, 201510 yr Author Cheers I will check, it doesn't help that it's plumbed for lpg so lots of pipes
February 19, 201510 yr Author The pipe goes under the right side inlet manifold to where is the problem
February 19, 201510 yr Has the dv (blue thing) got a vacuum pipe attached to the end? Otherwise it might go to the purge valve under the inlet
February 19, 201510 yr Author Yes blue thing connected to purge pipe , if you could chase it back would be great thanks
February 19, 201510 yr 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
February 21, 201510 yr Author 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
February 21, 201510 yr 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
February 21, 201510 yr Author Cheers I've searched net but no vac diagrams anywhere , I suppose too many variations also lpg pipes add to my stress
February 21, 201510 yr Just my pennies worth here. Could you whip the intercooler off to give yourself a better veiw of where it could possibly go?
February 22, 201510 yr Author 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
March 8, 201510 yr Author Any joy ? Bought a inspection camera still no joy I'm thinking of ringing rac at least the fault codes will indicate vacuum fault .
