I have been fighting this vac leak for three months. Last night, I was looking at the Bentley, and enlightenedly decided to check the other vac systems, because mine was not matching up to the ATW in two places. One of those places was leaking.

There it was - the AUG vac diagram. A perfect representation of what is in my engine bay.

I know, I know. Varies Widely.......

Not meaning to highjack your thread here, but I'm having an ATW vacuum leak problem myself. However, the manual that I have does not have a vacuum diagram in it. I have a big time loss of boost and can't find the defective hose. Anyway you might be able to email me a copy of the diagram from your book? My email is [email protected].
I'd really appreciate it.

It's the ultimate bong hose.

Yup, that looks like the AUG one. LOL, silly Volkswagen!
