V8 Vac advance
« on: August 21, 2005, 16:44:03 »
I've got what looks like a non return valve in the vac advance pipe on my disco, any idea what its for?

Its been running a bit flat of late and lacking in power and dieseling when i turn it off so i thought i'd give the vac pipes a once over.

when i remove the non return valve its goes like poo off a stick! so do i need it or does it do anyhting important

Probably allows vacuum to travel slowly in one direction, rather than a non return valve.  It'll be for emisions or something.  Just be careful in case it 'pinks'.
