On my 1.7l one of the distributors vacuum hoses is disconnected and a bolt chucked in the end, why would this be? My mechanic servicing it has just spotted this and said that it would be giving me zero advance, so wants to obviously reconnect as per standard.
Any ideas why this would have been done by the PO?? |

QUOTE So if the car were yours what would you do? If it were my car, factory motor = factory setup. Check your engine number, match that with what FI you have and then look up the vacuum hose diagram and follow it. You're not going to magically gain something by plugging in something that shouldn't be. In fact, you could over-advance and ping your motor to death. |

Ok so going by factory settings it should be connected - as per this diagram? The later 2.0 models had only one hose connected.. http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/technical_...el_diagrams.htm (IMG:http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/technical_specs/17VACHOSE.GIF) If the above is right - this is the way it has now been connected up and timing re-set (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
