Thin vacuum hoses on 280se

Post by Cream 280SE »

Hello, I have been cleaning the engine and engine bay of my 1977 280se. I have bumped a few thin coloured hoses that are attached to what looks like little plastic diaphragms . I am now stuck as to where they reconnect to. Has anybody a diagram on where these hoses hook back up to? Thanks

Theres more than 1 grouping of these type of hoses. (Central locking, engine management etc)
Depends which vacuum system you are attempting to reattach.
Post a picture of the culprit and I can post one back showing the color setup.

Hello, thanks for assisting. I cannot download photos onto this as a message comes up saying the image must be at least 0 pixels wide, 0 pixels high and at most 1920 pixels wide and 1200 pixels high. The submitted image is 4032 pixels wide and 3924 pixels high.

Would you have an email I can send these photos to?

Thank you Darren

if you open your photo on your computer, you can resize it to something smaller - try pull down menus to look for resize in whatever the photo opens with.
