missing Pipe/ tube

Gren 24 · 18th November 2019, 16:47

Doing a bit of work on my diesel Tourer engine. Under the inlet manifold there is 2 connections for pips/tube one is goung to the EGR, but I cannot see a tube that goes to the other connection. is this right or should there be a tube attached.
Have put a picture of said connections.

Thanks for looking and any any advice you can give me.

There should be a vacuum pipe like the other one attached to that.

I bet your brakes aren’t as good as they should be.

you wont need to look far, its just beneath the one that is connected looking at your photo.
Personally, I would replace both of these hoses due to degradation / ageing.
The one pipe goes to the EGR valve vacuum capsule facing the front.
The other hose runs along the top of the bell housing, towards the underside of the battery box, and appears just in front of the Under Bonnet Fuel Pump (If fitted) This end pushes on to the vacuum plastic servo pipe from the vacuum pump on the side of the engine and runs along the firewall to the brake servo.
3mm bore vacuum hose is best replacement, I have replaced plenty using silicone hose with no ill-effects.
Good luck.
