Title: Vacuum Hose Missing?
Post by DJWerkz on Nov 27^th, 2006, 12:33pm

Please see drawing: http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/images/coscontrol.gif

Item 13 has three hose connections on one end but on my car I can only find two vacuum hoses running into it. These two hoses are joined at the end with a rubber grommit type thingy, which only allows you to connect them on one way.

This leaves a more central connection without anything connected. Is this correct or am I missing something?

Is the third conection pluged?

That's the vacuum storage thingy does it suck on the unconected in/out if so plug it.

I think one is pluged but can't remember for sure ???

OK, well I've made a little section of hose to plug it, will test to see if there is any difference in idle and general running with it on as opposed to it being absent ;)

I think it's a dummy mate, it has no hole in it but the moulding is there if you get my drift.

But do check as my mind is a bit hazey on the subject (brain like a blackhole sometimes) ;D

There is no hole in the end, had a good look at this a while ago when checking and re-attaching vacuum connections.
