99 2.5 Tiptronic // My 1st Porsche
So I went to clean out the throttle body, since I was already replacing the AOS and coolant reservoir tank. I wasn't aware of the SAI vacuum lines when I started and only noticed them as I was putting the TB back together. I was able to figure out where 3 of the 4 connections went, however as I continued to search, the 4 way adaptor snapped. I still can't figure out where it is supposed to go.
I drove the car from Houston to Atlanta, I didn't notice much problem. Since then the car has been sitting until major maintenance has been completed. It was passed on to me from my family, so I know some history of it.
I have been doing some maintenance things, and prior to all of this I have noticed a coolant leak coming from the heater valve (12), and was planning on taking it to a local shop to have that part replaced to fix that suspected coolant leak. The transmission of this car had already been replaced 5 years back, and the IMS was not done. RMS has been done. Looking at the receipts, there has always been a slow coolant leak as it was filled often. Hence my reason to replace the reservoir tank as I read it to be a common problem.
As I searched these threads, I think that when the transmission was replaced, that the SAI vacuum lines weren't reconnected properly. Is it possible, that if they weren't connected correctly that it is causing the heater valve to leak coolant as the valve won't close due to no vacuum? The coolant leaks immediately after starting the car, but not when off.
Any other long term effects I should be aware of if the vacuum lines aren't correct?
I am not sure how the vacuum lines should go, I posted a pic of how I replaced them on my best assumption. Seeing if anyone could give me some input before I drop it off at the shop soon. Thanks!
How I routed the lines for now 1. passenger intake coupler, 2. canister, 3. electric change over valve, 4. ??? (currently broken so I used electric tape to cover hole for now)
