Title: Pipe connection help
Post by: miggy on 21 May 2010, 10:39:44
Hi
Would you guys with 2.6 v6 engines take a look under your bonnet and advise if this T piece should be connected to the open ended small rubber pipe, please see the attached photo, this is behind the 2 large air pipes.

Yes it should be. Just looked at my 3.2 (same set-up) and tee piece goes into rubber hose as you suspect. The thin pipe is clipped to the lower plastic Ram pipe and cable tied so that it sits diagonally and makes the angle for the tee piece better. :y

looks like the pipe is missing, and a rubber pipe hook up is not there.

It's a vacuum tank pipe. If you follow small pipe downwards it goes to the vacuum tank. The tee piece goes to the switch on back of multi-ram system. There is nothing missing, it just needs pipe to sit diagonally to fit better. :y :y
