Re: ? engine intermittant loss of power
yes got some vac pipe , but only replaced short bit nr pump.
had to jack the car up because I dropped the old solenoid down the back of the engine
while it was jacked up I tried to see where the vac pipe was connect to the turbo to no avail will have to get a diagram to give details
