Excellent Lantis - thats an option then but I'd like it sooner rather than later!
Thinking about it a little more I reckon it might be some sort of breather tank?!

Anyways, in answer to your question - look a little closer at where the red pipe joins ( or doesn't as the case is! ) the blak pot!

Cheers Phil.

It [i]could[/i] be a carbon filter - there's a couple I think, the main one being on the right hand side of the bulkhead low down.

If you had an EPC you could find out

Fantastic, funny and annoying at the same time!

Imagine this - phone Mazda - none in stock, none at Mazda, go on back order and 45 + VAT!!!
Yeah right - what f**kin planet are these guys on!

Anyone going to a scrappy soon!

Think I best make some enquiries today.

Thanks guys.... Phil

You should remove your broken vacuum thingy and get a mate to give you a lift to a local scrappy. Then wander around all the Mazda's in the yard 'till you find a simular item ?????

Just an update.

Done, delivered, sorted and fitted for £23.50! Nice!
Replacement part from Mazda Spares scrappy - Rochdale #;o)

Oh yeah!
Apart from the Mazda dealer ( near me ) having none in stock no idea when they would have.
Would have been something like 43.50 + VAT..
... yeah right!

All's well that ends well !!! Great stuff

hey is the valve solenoid important???!!! cos i was fixin my FSE the rite way up again instead of upside down like u saw phil and Co but i tried to take off one of the hoses cos it was too short and then i snapped it!!!!!! i had a look at the problem and then saw i had snapped off where it was suppose to be connected but then yanked off the top and underneath there was another insert which now i have used to connect to the FSE.

so far iv been runnin like this for about 2 weeks and no problems but i want to make sure that its fine to do so.

just feels like the power is abit funny now. :colors:

Lantis - I'm not sure what it does, all I know is that it was broke!... and I think it happened at around the time I was fitting my FSE, we got rounf it temporarily with some superglue but it snapped again a couple of weeks ago!

It's a vacuum chamber that links to the manifold and there's defo suction being lost it its not connected.
I too think it affected power but more likely consumption and idling?!

Anyways, feels a bit better now.... maybe just piece of mind that its as it should be?!

Anyone else actually know what its for / what it does / doesn't do?!

ttfn Phil :cheers:
