Vacuum hose underneath seat
Hi,

i found a piece of vacuum hose underneath my seat. I see where it is broken but I can’t see where it used to be connected.

is there any picture or plan available that’s shows the vacuum hoses of the seats?

is it problem that a piece is broke for malfunctions?

TIA

Is it just an air hose for the pneumatic bladders in the seats ? I doubt it's an engine vacuum hose....

[QUOTE=TripleDown;9146098]Is het gewoon een luchtslang voor de pneumatische blazen in de stoelen? Ik betwijfel of het een motorvacuümslang is....[/QUOTE

yes, its a pneumatic one. But I really can’t see where should be connected.

Neither can we - there is a limit to what strangers can do over the internet with few words and no pictures.
