I know this one, asked it a couple of weeks ago! If the pipe is not blocked off and is coming from your inlet manifold then it should be going to your brake servo (if you have one) under the bus.
It needs to run alllllll the way up front to a servo? I dont have a servo so thats ok, but seems a long way to go lol
Apparently so. If you you don’t have a servo then it should be blocked off or it will suck air in. According to Haynes it creates a pressure differential.
Is it actually that expensive? £900 less the vat is £750. Less £50 for the mot. Less say £100 for bits?? So £600 labour. Say £60 an hour which is kinda middle price for a garage. So ten hours to wire, plumb and get running whatever that entailed.
No technical advice coming from me I’m afraid but I do have a random loose hose in my engine bay. Possibly an oil breather? Not quite sure but it’s been like it for the past 3 yrs . Mine was a 2 litre fuel injection that was changed to a twin carb so I figured maybe extra bits left over.
This pic helped me. The vacuum from the intake manifold spigot is also ingeniously used in models with the oil bath air filter to provide a vacuum to the thermostat in the top of the filter. When the thermostat reaches 35 degrees c (I think) it opens and the vacuum operates the flap (thanks to funny round thing below spout which I see you have) so cooler air from the engine bay is filtered and fed to the carb. The system depends on having a working thermostat and round thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This /,\ The take off for a servo is much bigger than the one in @carlperkins001 photo. It's for the thermo doodah on the airfilter.
