Mystery vacuum line
This afternoon I was driving down the road in my 94 850 Turbo after just completing a decent tuneup (trans flush, fuel induction cleaning and synthetic oil change) Feeling good, I decided to open her up on a straightaway and took off at full boost.
Immediately after, I realized that my turbo gage stopped working and was stuck in the central position. When I got home, I popped the hood to try and find out where the vacuum line had come disconnected. In doing so, I ran into a dilemma.
I was able to locate the disconnected line. What's strange about this is that the turbo pressure line (where my finger is touching in the photo below) is a black hose but it connects to a white hose that runs across the top of the radiator.
I did find another white hose that was not connected to anything. If you look at the photo below (taken from driver side of vehicle looking across the engine bay) you will see a white hose. It runs under the battery and I found it lodged on the side of the battery not connected to anything. When I tried to connect it to the turbo pressure hose,the engine immediately went to FULL THROTTLE! so I quickly shut off the engine and disconnected it.
I think that someone else had asked about this mystery hose on this site but I can't find the thread. Do you know what that white hose is for?
