Vaccum Leak
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I have a 2001 S-Type Jaguar with the 3.0 V6, which has a vaccum leak. The problem is I don't know the part number of the hose or what it's called but I can discribe where it's located on the engine.
There is a tube that comes from the throttle body and goes toward the back of the engine (toward the firewall). The tube goes into a 90 degree rubber boot/tube that seems to connect to the engine just behind the intake manifold. It's the rubber boot/tube that has a large hole in it and needs to be replaced. I can hear the vaccum whistle when the car is running and if I place my finger over the hole I can feel the vaccum pressure.

Thanks bfsgross for the vote of confidence, although I am by far no expert
.
I am with JagV8 on this MYs 2003 and up are different from the preface lift 3.0s. I would only be taking a stab that it is either the pcv vacuum line or the pcc (purge control canister) vacuum line.
