RE: [doc] Vacuum System



Kevin,

I cannot honestly say one way or the other.. the heater controls have certainly worked in the past but Martin noticed I had quite a bad vacuum leak when he was last in the car... so, your answer is probably no.
Since I know relatively little about this system I am going to assume that without a working system - quite a few things would be affected? (Brakes etc?)

Does that mean that your heater contols do not work, i.e. Changing the
airflow from cabin to say windscreen

Kevin,


Underneath the injection manafold is a little "block" with three vacuum
tubes coming out of it. They run past the distributer near the left rear
wing/quarter. This is all by memory but there is a delay valve and a small
unit of some description there too.. I'm missing ALL of it! Christ knows
how. There is actually a label on the underside of the engine cover
showing
the unit and the routing... but it's all missing on mine!


Just to "see" the unit I have to remove all of the injection manafold
etc...
then rebuild. Looks scary.

Hopefully I'll be able to source some parts through Darren and also ditch
the current emissions rubbish also located here.
