Hi Guys,
Sorry for sounding really stupid but I need a hand. I was greasing up the universal joint on my 110 hdi from above by using the "jam the arm down the back method" and I managed to knock off one of the vaccuum pipes. It is the left hand pipe on the left hand servo and I cannot for the life of me see where it pushes back onto behind the engine.
Can anyone shed some light on it for me please, I have zero turbo now (although the steering is better after the UJ greasing).
If you reach down from the passenger side, between the throttle sensor and the EGR pipework, you should feel the turbo diaphragm about halfway down tucked under the exhaust manifold - it feels like a semi circle with a pipe inlet sticking out sideways. You can't see it, only feel it...
You may want to be holding the pipe while you search as there isn't room for 2 hands....

Thanks for the info mate. I'll give it a bash tomorrow as it's blowing a hooly outside right now. Simple pipe which causes major headaches huh!
Ok finally manages to locate it. It was halfway down the engine, however it was on the drivers side. Easy to miss as its well hidden. I ended up jacking the car and removing the wheel to get a better view which proved the best course of action and ended with a happy result. Thanks for the help though, it was much appreciated.
I only suggested to reach in from the passenger side as the access from the drivers side is rubbish..!!
