W124 E220 Rogue vacuum hose

[Ross63]

Hi all,

I've been servicing my (new to me) E220 Coupe this morning and I've found a rogue vacuum hose along the passenger side wing that isn't connected to anything. If you look inside the end it looks like it has a little steel basket filter inside.

Here is the offending item:

It connects to the bottom of this solenoid valve which I'm guessing is the transmission changeover valve?

Any ideas where this should be connected guys?

It forms part of the fuel evaporation filter system hidden under the nearside wing. Whether its a legacy of a vacuum operated system [ yours is solenoid controlled] or other I don't know. but ITS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

Thanks Graeme. Much appreciated.
