I own a 2004 e55 amg and I figured out few days ago that the hose coming from the purge valve or y58/1 sensor is not connected to anything. I have done hours of seaching on the net to see where it goes in but couldn't find the answer.
here attached a picture of the metallic hose. If anyone can help me with picture would be great!
thanks for your answer. do you mean the air intake manfold at the back of the supercharger? if yes where exactly because my mechanics guy is not able to find out the exact location. A rubber hose should connect this metalic piece with the engine. if anybody has a picture it would be great!
Reach your hand back around the engine. You should feel/find the matching metal tube attached to the rear of the engine at approximately the same height. I could not get a camera in there to take a photo nor do I know where it ends up. Does not show up in EPC but maybe my search powers are weak today.

Sorry to be a pain in the *** but I'm unable to find anything without a clear picture, my findings on the net says that the hose goes to the inlet manifold of the engine. Mine is an e55, it should go in the supercharger somewhere underneath the throttle body. A rubber tube should connect the hose to the SC. Just to let you know that my purge valve sensor is located on the driver side in front of the car. Other e55 model are on the passenger side.
Take off that surge tank. Its the screws on top and some clamps where it meets the supercharherr y pipe. The hose goes into the rear hard to see with it on ill find some pics to help.
Thank you for your reply. I will try removing the surge tank myself and check it. Could you tell me what is round black plastic on the last pics i posted. It is just next to the throttle body. It has some range of motion, it moves back and forward on less than a cm lengh.
I actually siliconed mine into place. I was told it shouldn't move at all. It's basically unmetered air going in at it will leak some.
The right way to fix it would be to pull the throttle body off and either replace the plastic part (which I don't really think is possible), to glue it in place (again that's what I was told on the forums), of to tap it and screw in a metal plug.
I couln’t get to anything with my hand after removing the surge tank. didn’t find any inlet as you described at the back of the supercharger. I guess that I should remove the supercharger and see if I find any. Here are some pics, any clues?
I have finally been able to connect it to the supercharger manifold but now I have experience weird issue. The car drive was very good, I was crusing at 100kph until I decided to floor the acceleration pedal down. At 160kph I removed my foot and directly after that the car lost power. Pressing the pedal again barely makes the cars moves and it begin shevering, very noticeble when the car is parked. I reset the throttle body but it didn't fix the problem.
Is it a coincidence after my purge valve hose been fixed? The car is shevering on idle but the rpm is steady!
disconnect and see if it resolves itself ,, you may have pulled off by accident some other vacuum line when you were jacking around with the purge line
