The ugly vacuum reservoir

[v-g]

This might fit another section on the forum, but I've an mk1 Leon, so here it goes.

Can the black ugly vacuum reservoir above the last coil pack be removed without removing any of the N's, mainly the N249?

I think I've seen it that way, but I think a lot and see a lot and can be easily confused.

Mental note to self: don't ask questions on a Friday afternoon.

 

[v-g]

Oh, come on! It's not that a stupid question, is it?

If it is, please say so.

Yes.

Just remove it and leave the N112 connected.. Take your dv vac from a more direct source.

 

[v-g]

Yes.

Just remove it and leave the N112 connected.

Dave to the rescue, again. Do you have a theme song?

Thanks, but eh? Leave the N112 connected I'm ok with, but what about the N249? Can that part be connected (and work) without a place to draw vacuum from? Does it need to go out, together with the reservoir?

Take your dv vac from a more direct source.

How did you know I had the DV on from there?

T into the FPR? Is there even a better place?

Sorry, I was away on Friday.

Ugh, I edited while you posted.

Hmm, how can the N249 get any work done without the reservoir?

When ECU wants to open DV durnig full throttle/acceleration, simply "energizes" N249, which will "de-select" the DV from the intake manifold (boost), and "switches" it onto the vacuum reservior.

I wouldn't want that to happen. Let it think it's working.

What do I use to blank out the vacuum tube with? The smallest blanking plug I've seen is 10 mm, way too big.

Dave on a slightly different note, will the n249 have to be removed on mine when the turbo goes on, as I hear it does not like BT type conversions or a lot of boost and tries to interupt too much?

You can get 8mm alloy blanking plugs - I have 2 spare now I've removed the SAI junk. If you want one PM me your address and I'll post it to you FOC! Failing that a simple bolt and hose clamp will do.

I didn't have any noticeable issues with mine on BT, but car was smoother and more responsive without all the excess baggage.

thanks Dave

reason I asked was that Jabbasport did this to my mk3 Ibiza when it was remapped

I will ask AMD to do this when they finally carry out the work

cheers anyhow

Thanks for the offer.

I was thinking about the bolt and clamp thing, but I'm afraid the threads on the bolt will eat on the hose and eventually make it leak. Just a thought.

Anyone got any experience on the issue?

 

[robertbadlad]

any one got a pic of the finished thing?
