C36 Vacuum Block help
Hey
I had a p1701 code and I went ahead and replaced the switchover valve and the plastic vacuum block under the hood next to the ecu.
But when doing so I broke three connectors for the vacuum lines. Future reference, they are very brittle and didn't take much to break. Anyway, I had to wait 4 days for mercedes to get the connectors in stock and I think I got the lines mixed up. There are 7 seven total in mine, but 8 spots, I know 4 are right, 1 I think is right and 2 I guessed based on what I could remember. Good news is, the check engine light went off.
But I just want to make sure I did in fact plug the lines in the right spot SO, if somebody, preferably a 96, could take a photo of their vacuum block and I could compare mine to it to double check I would really appreciate it.
I will attach a pic to show you what I am talking about.

Ah, no worries. None that I can find. Also I thought a pic would just make it that much easier to double check. Car runs normal and no check engine light, but I just wanted to make sure, you know
