M60 Brake Vacuum Hose

[MBXB]

I've tracked down one hose that may be causing my weird rough idle problems, and that's the hose that runs from the brake power booster and runs to the front of the intake manifold. The portion I can see looks cracked and inflexible around the clamp area.

ETK shows a hose 34 30 1161 513.
I can't find a diagram as to where the other end attaches.
Dug up one of winfred's pics of the intake manifold and circled what I think is the other end.

Is this the correct part number and location?

Ramon, that's actually the positive cable running from the alternator. It is covered by the typical electrical conduit stuff...forget the name of it ATM.

I'm trying to remember where the vacuum take-off is on the M60. I always get it confused/mixed up with the ASC stuff running around the throttle body; but I'm 90% certain that it's up there.

Thanks, whit.

On my car, which has ASC, the hose attaches to the throttle body below and to the driverside of the elbow. Not sure of the part number, but you could probably just get by with some hosing from a local auto parts store as I did. Here are some pics. The first shows where that hose attaches to the throttle body. The second two show the whole thing installed. It's really crowded in there when everything is put together.

Did some searching and I think it's item 7 in this diagram:

Thanks FiveO,

Do I have to pull the intake manifold to replace?

looks like its easy to get to on my car, dont think its clamped to the intake side but is to the plastic tube...careful they are real brittle!

Thanks FiveO,

I would first try changing it without pulling the manifold, but there's so much stuff in the way you probably will end up doing it anyways. Change the intake gaskets and PCV plate while you're in there.
