You don't need a vacuum diagram, you need a new hose. What's happened here is that the rubber has gotten old and soft, and probably has a hole in it too. I know, because the same thing happened to that hose on my parents '85 Quantum 5 cylinder a couple of years back. Put on a new hose, and all will be well. >Does anybody have a vacuum diagram for this model? >Hopefully there is one in the Bentley, I haven't located a manual yet. >I would be most appreciative if someone could supply me with this info. BTW, there's a vacuum diagram on the sticker inside the hood.
