Vacuum Units Etc.

Post by Titan1995 » Thu Sep 20, 2012 11:47 am

I have have a 2.5 TD Auto Bongo that was fitted with the "Winter Pack" subsequently removed. I am also about to blank off the EGR valve.

My query is this: Do I still need any of the electrical units that sit above the glow plugs an associated vacuum pipes?

It would be useful to dump them if no longer required as they rather get in the way.

you can do away with the rearmost 2, and repositon the front 2? just means extending the vacuum pipe
