Hi Marc, this could be tricky, but can I have a diagram of all the vacuum hoses/systems in the engine bay please.

You'll have to be more specific - this is a 'Diagram' of the vacuum system as you requested Ryan.

What exactly do you want if not this? EGR Piping, Turbo Piping, Brake Servo???

Every vacuum pipe going please, I'm thinking turbo pipes first. I think I have a major leak somewhere. I'd rather find it by hand rather than opening a blow torch propane tank to find the leak, I like my eyebrows
