Vacuum hose off, cannot find where it goes !!!

[mr shifter]

Hi, due to my R not boosting properly, i thought id have a look around. There is a vacuum hose off and im buggered if i can see where it goes. Its a short hose with a red dot { if that helps } and its off the valve thingy under the air filter. I have removed the air filter housing and various pipework but cannot see where it goes.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

It connects to the compressor housing of the turbo.

bloody he'll Graham, you been googling again?


feel round the bottom of the compressor housing, below the recirc valve. it's hard to get at and you need a clip to hold it on there too.

is it on a tee piece? its a very short hose.

[mr shifter]

Oh great, now another hose is off aaarrrghhhh.

take a deep breath mate and head down halfrauds for some 4mm hose. redo the whole lot, it's a good idea ;)

[mr shifter]

I can feel where 1 hose goes, but theres no way i can get the hose on. As for the other ( with the red dot ) i cannot see or feel where it goes. Really need the car up in the air, which is difficult as its on the road !!

if you want to limp it to Poole this evening, I'll sort it for ya. bit of a drive but probably cheaper than a garage.

I don't think I've ever been involved in a scene that people club together to help each other out as much as with the volvo's.
It's a nice feeling. Lol :)
