Title: Vacuum tests
Post by: electrofelix on February 19, 2010, 07:35:13 PM

I thought that the bentley manual would have some details on what measurements you should get when testing the various vacuum lines on the car, but I can't seem to find any.

Anyone know what values I should be seeing, plan to test all the various lines tomorrow, so it would be useful to know what the specifications should be.

Testing vacuum? I would just visually inspect the hose and replace the broken ones necessary.

The manual that came with my mightyvac hand vacuum pump went into a lot of detail on how to interpret vacuum readings/fluctuations.  I also found info in the Bentley e36
