anyone with a 3b got a photo of where these lines go and what is the black one way valve which runs on a hardline round the back of the battery then dips into the wing.
definately got the one to the TBV sorted, its the other two i'm not so sure about.
The FPR va line has a T in it but not sure if that one goes to the back of the IM and then the other end of the T down the the small guage semi rigid vac pip coming up from under the batter tray or not. anyone confirm?

Ac equipped cars have a 1way valve so that it keeps the front vacuum reservoir empty - used only for function of recirc flap. There is another pipe that goes to rear of car via another 1way into vac reservoir for dufflock
On ABY the hoses are Color coded - red plastic to the rear, think it is black to the front with a green one to the ecu via the obligatory moisture trap. Hey - I can show you over the weekend !!!!!!Paul Nugent

David, the vacuum hose that runs down the side of the battery tray and disappears inside the car is the ECU vacuum hose. I had mine connected by a length of vacuum hose running from the middle outlet off the IM with a 'T' piece which was connected to the FPR and the rigid ECU hose. The ECU is actually green but it can be very difficult to see as they get so dirty with age.
There are some dark green rigid hoses that run around the back of the battery and into the wing but I'm fairly certain these were linked to the carbon canister?

lol just edited due to confusion I've removed my carbon can now so exactly sure. There should be a little black and yellow valve with a T off it to do the larger pipe, and a small T in the FPR line I think, sorry , not really helping.
