Re: Vacuum hose

Ok so this is where the vacuum pipe finish at the other end. Not sure what it is as I can't see it properly but I have a pic
It is under the plastic intake hose that goes across the top of the engine.

Re: Vacuum hose

Loosing power yes but no smoke or rough running. I deleted the egr valve and blanked one of the vacuum hoses off that goes to the egr valve but this one has never been connected to anything since I have had it. To be honest I never new it was there since I deleted the egr.

Yep m14x1.5 but it seems like the washer bit is to big and won't let the bolt screw in.

A new standard 228 mm clutch and dual mass flywheel isn't ideal , the Sports AVF engine has a 240 mm but ideally you want an Sachs SRE organic 228 mm .
