Woodyman84 3 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 After changhing my tb I stupidly forgot to clip in the long vacuum pipe that goes from the inlet down to a sensor by the maf. I'm assuming this then goes to the carbon canister. Anyway its now melted against the heat shield and I was just wondering...can I just block it up. And does anyone know the diameter of the pipe so I can replace it. Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 If its the pipe going to the carbon cannister you can bin the entire syste. You have to either bung one pipe up or let another vent to atmosphere, i cant remember which ones which. Otherwise it can run a bit lumpy Link to post Share on other sites
Woodyman84 3 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 k thanks mate. the black one goes to the tb/inlet area so clear one must be fuel tank breather. guess ill just block the pipe to the inlet with a screw for tommorow morning as i gotta get to work and leave the rest venting. im just glad i spotted it when i did.its melted solid to the heat shield! doh Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Haha ive done that before, left a plastic battery cover on the exhaust manifold, went for a drive and there wasnt much left! Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 If you are going to get shot of that hose and not replace it....The crankcase vent can vent to atmosphere but the system is designed to be sealed as the air it vents is supposed to be recirculated as the maf already accounted for it. If VTA you need to block the port on the intake elbow, and you'd need to block the port on the inlet manifold where the hose attached Link to post Share on other sites
Woodyman84 3 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Thanks for the help on this. Found a place that did me a new hose for £3 so I just returned it to original :-) Link to post Share on other sites
