Does anyone know where I can find a vaccum hose diagram for a 73 1.7? Bowlsby's diagrams have been very helpful but he only has a diagram for a 71. My air cleaner only has only two ports and the 71 diagram looks like it has 3. Thanks for the help.

Matt

try tech article on pelican site

Pelican uses the same diagram as bowlsby. I know the lines aren't that different from a 71 to a 73 but there are extra hoses that I don't know where they go.

if you need an extra port these can come into play.. decel valve? on '73?

Man those are expensive for some stupid rubber peices. Hopefully rich will have one laying around.

Oh you can get them elsewhere that was mainly to show you what they are and they you can connect piggy back and that they are out there available.. you will have better pricing and availablity with vw sites and shops..

OK lets Start Over, there is only 2 vac hoses to the air cleaner in the posted diagram,.. Just start copying that diagram and if you end up with an extra hose.. post that issue.. If while doing that you have a problem identifying a hose or part, post that too,. Once you dig you will see..

Just to get you seeing what I see is the oil filler and the charcoal cannister are the only 2 hoses at the air filter (green in diagram) the vacumm retard from your distributor is not at the air cleaner though it may appear so (yellow in diagram).. Some hoses recyle air (air cleaner) and some hoses are from parts sensing vacaum (throttle body/housing) and then there is the aar which is a controlled vaccum leak (only othe green hoses in diagram, also from intake bootle to throotle housing).. just a head start.. good luck..

Ok man so heres some pics i shot today, hopefully you can tell what im looking at

Ok so this pic I cant really figure out why the rubber peice is to short to fit onto the top of the air cleaner, do I have the wrong one or something? the large bottom fitting i assume attaches to the hose that comes up from flapper boxes under the engine shelf? Correct me here cuz im just guessing.

Ok this picture shows the hook up onto the oil fill which is shown in the pelican diagram, but there is also another connection there just in front of the oil fill which is not shown in the diagram. I have a line connected to it just for reference, Where does that go?

These two pictures are from both sides of the motor. Each has an input just in front of the spark plug. Sorry the second pic is a little harder to see. what hooks to these?

Now this last picture there are 3 hook ups under the air cleaner which are also not pictured in the pelican diagram. What lines hook to these 3 input? thanks for the help

Oh and one last thing. I have a total of two hook ups on my air cleaner box and one on the rubber pipe. Also in the second to last picture the heater flapper which comes up just in front of the coil and is blocked, im assuming hooks up somewhere right? Man I thought wiring my car was difficult, wish i had a correct diagram...

Is that a wrist sweat band?

Just kidding..

Looks like you have confunction going on and I have been thinking what is the best way to help you straighten this out to some understanding for you..

My email is detoxcowboy@gmail.com send me all the above pics plus take one or two of the whole enchilada, back it up a bit so I can see what you dealing with and what you or have not.. I will draw on them and send them back to you with explanation.. and possible request another photo or 2.. Joe

For anyone else needing help with this, I found the Haynes diagram (pg 40) to be almost exactly like my stock '73 1.7L, including the positions of various connection points.
