I have found my Double Diaphragm Valve, which is vacuum activated by the thermowax, is bad. The effect is that I get a vacuum leak when the car warms up. (i.e. thermowax valve opens up at temp, tries to pull vacuum on the Double Diaphragm Valve which is a complete leaker and now non-functional.)

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement that works? . . . .I am having a hard time sourcing this part. .. .Can I make a S5 unit work?. . .Is there another alternative part?

It seems as if this DDV is only used to keep the secondary's from opening up when cold. . .. . .. . Is the solution to simply plug the line and hide it so that the smog guy when he does his visual doesn't catch it?

Thanks.

yeah you could just plug it, but put something in the hose so it looks correct.
