Have removed my carbon canister today following Robo's guide posted on this forum but have some confusion on the 3 pipes nearest the intercooler!

 

Have installed the vacumme pipe as pictured in his diagram but the bottom pipe *Green arrow and dot" seems to be sucking in air which indicated to me boost leak! Do I block this off or is it needed to stay open for fuel pressure etc... The top one of the three has also been left open but no leak there...

 

Very confused please help!!

 

Isn't that the pipe you have to link to the fuel tank vent?

you sure your not hearing it from that intake pipe that would surely leak if not capped?

 

dan.:)

i cant remember which one goes where now,

 

 

but i was looking at mine, i didnt see the point of conencting the red vacuum pipe,

 

as the bottom one goes to the hard pipes, then back to the intake plenum??

 

 

 

i just blocked the pipe off at the intake plenum.

 

 

 

surley you cant get a boost leak from removing the CC?

just fuel vapours etc

Well turns out it was the pipe that led from the throttle body down into that tree of 3... Capped it anyway and so far no probs.. AIV and PVR whatever it's called thing also now removed from inner passenger wing...

its worth doing them all to at least eliminate some of those pesky pipes in the engine bay! :smash:

Cheers for everyones help! :hyper:
