|
|
The series 3 16v has a little christmas tree of vacuum hoses under the plenum. 4 are attached to the throttle bodies, one goes to the fuel rail pressure releif valve, and the last one disappears through the N/S inner wing.
The question, where does the pipe that goes through the inner wing go?
My red 16v has it all connected which is how I traced it, through the wheel arch, but no idea where it goes from there. The green SW its disconnected and blanked off in the engine bay.
Any help appreciated. _________________ Drivers:

Hi,
I think that's going to the emissions canister (carbon filled??) which just stops it going directly to air.

That would make sense.
From what Dee said (previous green SW owner), I suspect the canister is missing as he could not find anywhere to plug it so to speak!!
