Where does this pipe go?

Bluelarky · Mar 14, 2013

At work at the mo and havn't had a chance to look in the manual... So can anyone tell me where this rather long and important looking pipe feeds into?
I can't find any inlet or outlet without a pipe, so I've probably linked another somewhere in the wrong place!

I'm sure the answer will be very obvious....

Cheers!

From the photo it looks like the oil breather and should be into the oil filler cap.

thems my thoughts to ,why asked whats other end

honolulujoe · Mar 14, 2013

shouldn't the rubber pipe and the bent metal pipe near it go to the heater matrix.

maybe the original heater matrix isn't there

dominicbeesley · Mar 14, 2013

Servo, there should be a pipe sticking up at an angle from the manifold near the back...it pushes on to that

Bluelarky · Mar 14, 2013

Thanks for your suggestions guys! I'll take another look when I get back in a bit. Like I said I can't find any tubes missing a pipe, but I could have possibly plumbed the heater pipes in incorrectly! I'll take another pic or two aswell!
Cheers again.

As it is a series landy, it probably does not have a brake servo. My guess is that it goes around the front of the air intake pipe and attaches to that open ended metal pipe that is running over the top of the rocker cover and along the bulkhead. Unless that metal pipe is a heater pipe, in which case you have plumbed something up wrong.

metal pipe is the heater pipe ,lots of series have servos,which that is the pipe for from bent steel pipe on inlet manifold

Bluelarky · Mar 14, 2013

So.... I'm guna go with everyone who said it's for the servo! But just to double check, here's some pics!

Bluelarky · Mar 14, 2013

Not sure if the pics are coming up right, but the other pic is of the metal pipe on inlet manifold that the black pipe was already attached too. And the other is of the only other tube without something attached to it! The servo...

Wondering what the T is for
Have you got a vacc gauge in the cab?

thats were the pipe goes , uses the vacuum in inlet to work servo ,t piece isnt std and shouldnt be there whether someones added an extra vac pump or whatever ,but shouldnt be there and might allow engine to suck in air other than through the carb

dominicbeesley · Mar 15, 2013

If you look in the picture the T goes to what looks like some kind of solenoid on the back of the clutch pedal housing. It appears to be marked with a Ford logo....

jamesmartin · Mar 15, 2013

hm extra pump or what ?cant think of anything else you could want , though a well serviced brake system has never needed anything else imo

dominicbeesley · Mar 15, 2013

I can't see anything else (plumbing wise) coming from it so it might just be a low pressure warning light. On my S3 there's a switch screwed into the bottom of the servo (which doesn't seem to do anything as it should light the light when the engines stopped) so maybe a replacement for a broked switch or a non-standard servo?

Bluelarky · Mar 15, 2013

Cheers for your thoughts guys. I've left the pipe on the T section, so will just have to see what happens or if makes any notible differences when the engine is running.
We've installed a recon engine to replace the old and knackered engine which it came with, so possibly something to do with that!?
Also... Whilst we're in the same area, I've included a pic of some sort of electrical outlet on the cylinder. Is(was) it some sort of sensor?

Cheers again guys. You've been a great help!

dominicbeesley · Mar 16, 2013

Yup, that's the low vacuum warning sensor. buy a new one they shouldn't be expensive (look in the parts catalogue) and ditch the ford thing and the T-piece. Might as well do it right while you're at it...

Bluelarky · Mar 16, 2013

I don't have the part cat, so have emailed Famous Four to see if they've got it. Along with some pics! Will get some pics up of the rebuild soon. Cheers!
