  1. Thanks everbody for your advise, I'm very grateful. I have blanked off the unused vacuum hose tail with a diesel injector rubber blanking plug and cleaned the MAF sensor for good measure. Done a few miles and no sign of the check light. Ill keep the post updated if any changes occur to help anybody with a similar problem in the future. Fingers crossed though that's it fixed. Thanks again
  2. Okay, i don't have a PSE exhaust. Do I not need to worry about the missing pipe? Should it be blanked off?
  3. Many thanks for your guidance, I will investigate further tomorrow, I know that the exhaust system is not the original. Will the vacuum valves be standard on all exhaust systems? I know the previous owner recently had the exhaust replaced.
  4. Hi I have a 2001 996 3.4L C2, I've only owned the car for a couple of weeks. Today the engine check light came on with no obvious symptoms. I have a very basic code reader and the fault codes were P1128 and P1130. After a search of Google (and a moment of scaring myself silly with air oil separator story's causing catastrophic engine failure) I started to look for the cause maybe a possible vacuum leak. There is a component on the o/s of the engine compartment suspended just above the engine. It has one hose going to it and a second hose tail that looks like it may of once had a hose on? I have attached the photo. Maybe somebody could advise me what this is and if there should be a hose attached? I have cleared the fault codes and taken a half an hour drive, the fault had not returned although I have done nothing to rectify it. Many thanks in advance for you help
