EGR vac hoses

Post by **GreenyUK** » Fri Feb 07, 2014 4:24 pm

Hi all as some will know I've got a code 12 that keeps coming back, It's not a massive problem but I'd like it gone.
I read a few days ago, that the code 12 is something to do with the egr not reading correctly which could be caused by an air leak and the chap was advised to check all vac lines. I thought I'd do the same.

Could some one confirm this for me, just checked now by following the vac hose from the egr valve at the battery side of the engine to the N/S wing. See pic.

The red arrows indicate the vac hose coming from the egr. It then joins two others and joins in the middle.

Then as you can. See the middle one comes out and down to the cruise control? Then into the wing,see number 4??

So since this vac hose doesn't go to the egr valve sensor thing infront of the cruise control module. So I'm wondering if the lad who swapped the engine connected these vac hoses up wrong?

From memory, it does look wrong, there is a full vac diagram in the manual you can double check there.

Yes they are wrong. This will explain why my cruise control does not work too

Well just switched them over and reset the Ecu, not drove her yet as me dinner is a cooking.

However the damn cruise control still isn't working lol the cruise button lights up green but the light on the dash does not come on..

this car is a mess, all the vac lines seem to be wrong, going off that diagram in the manual

Remind me...

What engine? h22a right?
In a shell that had what engine in it before? H22a2 right?
Currently running H22a engine loom, on h22a2 ecu.
Have I got that right?

I ask, because I'm wondering what set of vacuum lines it has on the shell, because they're slightly different on an h22a (jdm shell) and h22a2 (ukdm shell)

That's it bud spot on lol.

Are they really, that's interesting news. I'll have to research.

Part of me thinks sell it on and buy a better base lol. But the other part things no don't let it win

It doesn't help that the weather is terrible so it's really very hard to get any work done. And it's a daily drive
