Location Of Long 3mm Vacuum Hose

[kester]

Have had lots of black smoke mostly as low revs and following error codes on galaxy tdi 110bhp.

have tried changing hoses and swapping both pressure solenoids. I cant locate the end of the final 3mm vac hose that runs from next to air temp sensor on turbo air intake, all around bulkhead past N75 and fuel lines and behind air filter housing and past top of driver side shock absorber. Does this go to the ECU and if so how do I get to that end and is it easy?

 

Alternatively I can cut it and use some 3mm connector (assuming the last few inches are not split). Anybody know where I can get such a connector?

 

I also need the 5mm-3mm reducer as I broke mine.

 

thanks

I think you're right about that pipe going to the ECU. The Haynes manual glibly mentions removing the dashboard to get to the ECU but I recently renewed my pipe by cutting it where it pops int the drivers footwell and joining to a new pipe. No signs of difficulty so far.

thanks for your advice. I've had the instrument cluster out on my identical alhambra but looks tricky to get the ECU out so I happy to go with your suggestion of cutting & connecting - however can you tell me where I can buy a 3mm - 3mm connector (and the 5mm-3mm reducer I also require)?

Ah just managed to find a 3mm-3mm connector on ebay; however would still welcome advice on 5-3mm reducer ...
