Vacuum hose - where is it from?!

Post by coops » Sun Dec 05, 2021 12:39 pm

Found that a previous owner had half done a EGR delete which had involved bending the pipe to block it!

All done properly but in order to do this I had to remove the air pipe which goes down near it. When putting back together I found this - I’m sure it wasn’t there before. Any ideas where it goes?

Has one end fallen off the vacuum reservoir (little round basket thing with a pipe on each end) on the off-side wing close to there? It’s the vacuum reservoir for the turbo.

Just trying to find some images to help you.

EDIT I think it’s 1b below?

I think 1b is exactly it! I’ll have a look in the morning.

Many thanks indeed. Where did you find the image?

Glad it might have helped. It was in an old file library from when I had my E53. Probably something I found a decade or more ago.

You might want to renew them while you are down there.
