LHM cap breather (?) tubes- where does the back tube connect

Post by stefanwhite »

hello british street surfers!
on my LHN reservoir cap are two transparent plastic lines. The one towards the front of the vehicle is in place but I can´t find the connection for the tube that goes towards the rear. Any suggestions? The modell is 17RD ie 1789ccm diesel 1992

thanks

If I remember correctly it leads nowhere. It's an overflow I think.

Your memory is correct it just gets slotted into the wing.

Grüß dich Stefan, where are you located in Austria? I am in Germany, not too far from Bregenz, in the Bodensee area.

it is just a breather/vent pipe, which usualy goes through a small hole in the inner wing along side the strut top,
