Default Unconnected vacuum hose

I found that there are 2 vacuum hoses unconnected under the dash board on my RHD 95 C2. Cheers.





2 unconnect vacuum hoses under the dash in the driver side on my RHD 993.

Resirculation flap actuator hose. The white with rubber bend goes to the actuator.
I have never seen a black vacuum hose under there, so I don't know that.
Cheers,
Tore

Cheers.

Just above the hos you found.
You see it from below, but also trough the Climate Control Unit dashboard opening.

Sorry that I really cannot find the re-circulation flap actuator under the dash in the driver side. I think that the PO had deleted it and left the vacuum hose unattended. Meanwhile, i will plug the vacuum hose and may I have the part number of this re-circulation flap actuator? I want to refit it.
Cheers.

Have you pulled the Climate Control Unit (CCU) out and looked directly in? I don't recall being able to see it from under the dash.

Look in the online Katalog on the Porsche website:
http://www.porsche.com/all/media/pdf...93_KATALOG.pdf
Looks like it might be a full assembly with vacuum actuator and flap:
flap 993 572 077 00

Thanks. How can I pull the CCU out? By some special tool?
And I don't have heat, is it related to this unconnected hose?
Cheers

I checked now, the black tube is not a vacuum line, but a wire harness tube. It is much softer to touch than the vacuum pipe, and there should be wires in it.
Cheers,
Tore

Look at the face of the CCU...there are 2 holes on either side. There are U-shaped wire tools that pull out the unit. Same as used sometimes on car radios, so you could find them anywhere they install car radios.

You can try to cut/bend coat hanger wire to the right size/shape and might work. Or I have this kit I got on Amazon for $10, knowing it would come in handy some day...

Use a bunch of blue masking tape on the dash & steering column to prevent scratches.

Thanks for the advices. I had pulled out the CCU without damage anything and proved that the re-circulation flap actuator was removed by the PO. As well as the heater related hoses at the engine room. I think it is because I am located in the sub-torpical area where heater is really not a must. Is the black color hardness tube just stay unconnected like that?
Cheers
