i'm in the midst of replacing the the turbo charger vacuum lines ,the front was the easy part hooking up the lines by the turbo. i couldn't really reach the rear lines on the box under the intake manifold.. so i got the vacuum reservoir box loose, but the old lines came off. not the worst. by using the old lines i matched up how they went on. what's left to do is the other end of the short hose. and the thicker long hose. the thicker long hose goes under the the intake, what is connects to is kinda loose, and i don't wanta do any damage trying to pry it off. do i have to remove the manifold to finish the job ?

any tips ? i should install the reservoir box an hook the lines up to the reservoir box before putting the intake back on right ? what does that little hose go on to ? will it be semi easy to see.... thanks for any help

 

The vacuum actuator is under there, too.

thanks, part #2 that's what i need to connect my hoses to. how ever i can't get on it with my hands well enough. do i have to pull the intake ?

 

You will have to remove the intake box and ducting, but you shouldn't have to remove the manifold.

 

thanks, i ended up removing the intake manifold, the purge valve is on a rubber block under the manifold ( the vacuum lines go from the purge block to the vacuum reservoir and up to the front ) it was way easier to see the valve and reservoir and under stand with the manifold off. the job is done and running great. the code 2885 is off. have 20 miles on it so far.

 

Hi friends. I write from Chile. i had the problem of code 2885 in mini jcw n14. I am a mechanic and specialized in the MINI brand. For those who appear this code due to low pressure, I recommend that you review several points that I will list below: 1) check turbo pressure hoses for damage. especially check the one that comes out of the turbo towards the intercooler since generally the air silencer always breaks in the plastic union. 2) check that the vacuum generated by the vacuum pump is around 26 inhg. 3) the wastegate must close at negative 300 mbar. 4) inspect for leaks in the vacuum hoses that go to the turbo solenoid valve that goes below the intake manifold. It is important to bear in mind that the vacuum hoses over 40,000 km begin to get internally wet with oil vapors generated by the vacuum of the pump and this causes them to expand and have vacuum losses. in a single opportunity we had a case where the intercooler had a minimal loss due to a hit of a stone on the road and generated the same code. I hope this information that I am giving will be of use to you as we adore this brand and want to be present in the relationships of these cars forever. a giant hug.
