Hey guys,

I'm almost done with my vaccuum hose replacement. I've been following the diagram on fd3s.net and so far so good. However, I got to a point where I think I connected one hose wrong. Before I correct it and cut the hose, I just wanted to double check with someone who's done this before and make sure I'm right because I can't really tell from the diagram. Hopefully this will just be a yes or no answer...

Tell me yes or no... in the picture I attached, I need to remove the hose from the yellow circle and connect it to the hardpipe at the red circle. Then I need to run a new hose from the yellow circle to a pipe just down below where the green circle is... correct?

... my problem is that the diagram says the solenoid closest to the firewall (the yellow circle) says it connect to the 'pressure regulator' but I don't know if that the fuel pressure regulator (where the green circle is) or where the hose in question is already connected.

Thanks for any help!

Connect the yellow circle to the green circle.

On the other side of solenoid(A) (where the orange electrical connector is) there is another nipple. That one goes to the little diagonal nipple behind the primary injectors housing.

YES on both! The green circle is the fuel pressure regulator. The other end of the hose you are moving to the red circle connects to the oil metering nozzle underneath the pulsation damper.

 

Thanks guys, I fixed it.
