hello jerry, i will check on EPC and post he photo here and the part numbers.
but i remember that vaccum line is used also for headlamp adjustment.
did you received the mail with the PDF of the brake booster assembly?
What is the info on the pipe that Jerry has asked about? I have a 14 E63 where this pipe disappears in to the engine bay fuse box. After 3 days of not using the car, I was doing some other maintenance and removed the small pipe from the brake booster. When removed I heard air moving in the pipe. I thought this was a bit strange with the car being turned off for so long.
hello, if you can upload a photo please. If is the same of W209 there is a balck pipe made of hard plastic and it connects on a vacuum pump on the engine, thats why there's air on that pipe after 2/3 days

I know the black plastic pipe is from the vacuum pump. What’s the grey pipe for that goes in to the fuse box from the servo?
After a bit of investigating under the car, it turns out it's got aftermarket, valved, exhaust back boxes fitted. I wasn't told about these when I bought the car.
Yeah, mystery solved With the pipe being grey and not like any of the other pipes in the engine bay, I didn’t think it was genuine. I know what it’s for, on mine anyway, now. It might be getting disconnected and blanked, depending how loud the exhaust is.
Yesterday, while away from my PC, I composed a reply to jasegarn Post #5 on my iPhone, was getting ready to send it this AM (USA Central Time) - and I see he has found the answer.
For my Original Post: The small white tubing at the brake booster provides 'power' for the rear-passenger headrest "Fold" action. It is a vacuum actuated latch initiated from a dashboard switch. (The 'hint' for it's purpose was from a suggestion on another forum.)

Ahh, that will be why there is the tapping already in place on the brake servo connection. I have seen it blanked off on other photos instead of having the pipe on like mine.
