Terrano vaccum hoses disconnected

Post by toominator »

A couple of weekends ago I was wiring up some driving lights. As i was looking for a place for the relay to go I noticed a disconnected hose. Image

Today I had a bit of time to trace it and figure out what it was off. I'm not a mechanic by any means so I a bit confused as to what I found. I now have another two disconnected hoses.

I'm assuming the black boxes are a switch of some kind. The left hand hose on the lower one comes from the air intake.
The hose coming out toward the viewer comes from the bottom of the turbo intake manifold part
Image

The disconnected hose would have been connected to this
Image
(The round cylinder bit in the centre of the photo)

The two hoses heading off to the right join together and go toward the brake cylinder (I think thats what it is, forgive me!)
Image
(its the thick hose coming from the bottom right going to the t junction)

The thick hose coming out at 90deg from the t junction comes from the alternator. In the top left of the above photo there is another switching looking device.

Image
The hose I'm holding was behind the brake cylinder, I'm assuming it's supposed to be connected to the black nipple bit there?

The hose is black with a red stripe on it, the hose that comes out the other side of this is black with a white stripe on it. They can be seen in the photo two above of the brake cylinder. The red one junctions off just before the hose from the alternator. The white one is the other disconnected hose. I can't actually see where that one goes, but it reasonably long and heads down the side of the engine.

I'd really appreciate if someone would be able to explain to me what this system is for and where the black w white stripe hose should be connected. I'm going with the other two need to be connected to the nipples right next to them?

[/quote]Yes on my truck that's where that hose goes.

The rest I cannot help with as mine has had all the emission shit removed. On the top photo mine has the tow nipples where the white dots are joined together.
Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along.

thanks pete, now I've got a bigger problem on my hands I've started loosing vacuum assist on my brakes at idle :?

Looks like i'll be fixing that first, I don't think the two are related because the brakes were fine until yesterday and the hoses have been disconnected for some time (had the truck for just over a month now) and I've known about then for 2 weeks.

Sofar it seems that I should check all the vacuum hoses starting from the alternator back to the cylinder? There seems to be quite a bit of info on here about it anyway. Even if I can't fix the problem at least I can tell the shop what I think it is

hoping I didn't buy a lemon

Here are some pictures of my truck to better assist you.

White striped hose to vacuum actuator by throttle linkage, viewed through drivers wheel arch. This is the AC actuator throttle linkage.

Brake booster showing vacuum switch with green/yellow striped hose on left and white striped hose on right. White to actuator at throttle linkage area, green/yellow to T junction where main hoses link to brake booster.Image

The other vacuum switch set-up, mine has the two hoses on the front, by white dots, linked together. The two on the side go to the main T junction to the brake booster.
Image

Hard to get a decent pic here, but the large hose thats vertical in middle of pic goes from the alternator to the T junction at the brake booster. There is a smaller hose under this too that goes to another vacuum switch on the passengers guard.

thanks for that!

Taking the gfs car to get an inspection light so I cah see what the hell I'm looking at! Might get a vacuum gauge at the same time to test the pump on the alternator. Might pick up my other car from my folks place to use until I've sorted this out.. got a few big hills that require brakes on the way to work haha
