- C350, cdi (OM642 - 204223) enhanced performance, late 2011 (2012 model)
Hi all, I've just acquired a A180 cdi 2litre 2009 (not quite the same as my C350 estate sport!). I have just reseated the leaking diesel injectors (black death!) and am just wrapping it up and now notice that the vacuum pipes don't quite add up. Bearing in mind that the two vac solenoids were just hanging free and not fixed I reckon that someone must have been fiddling with it recently! I think I've got most of it sorted from various pics / manuals etc .
So this is it so far:
Main line from vac pump to brake servo - ok
Small line from brake servo branch to 1st solenoid vac valve and a branch from this to air vac box (air filter) - ok
Turbo waste-gate to same solenoid main connection - ok
EGR to connection at single pipe fitting end of throttle housing - NOT SURE about this but my WIS shows this for the particular VIN
2nd vac solenoid smaller pipe to air box - ok
2nd vac solenoid main pipe - ?????? seems to be no where to accept it!
Does anyone have any suggestions? Have been unable to find any clarity on this but if somebody has the same model car or know the system perhaps they'd be kind enough to help.
Thanks in advance.
