Exhaust valve issue.

RMG · 11-14-2010, 10:12 AM

My 335’s exhaust flapper valve (vacuum operated) had the “diaphragm” broken and I might have been driving the car like this all summer…does anyone know exactly where is this vacuum generated? I am trying to understand if it’s possible that the debris - probably got sucked in the system – caused any damage?
Thanks in advance for you help!

Look under the cover for the driver side tail light

Thank you again for your help. Yeap, I know, there is a electr. valve there but I am not sure if the vacuum is generated there or not. I would be interested to know where this tubing end goes/ connected to.

Looks like your car wanted to the golf tee mod itself!
