Martin, you are correct. That vacuum line runs your HVAC unit. A little awkward to replace as you’ll have to stand on your head and remove some panelling under the dashboard to get to the line. (Unless you can splice it by the washer bottle!)
Hi Stig @stigmoltu-jacobsen
This will be my first attempt at a response to a question- so we’ll see how it goes!
The release handle is connected to two rods which are then attached to the spring -loaded catches. Each “catch” is contained within a metal housing. You will have to drill out two (I think) rivets. Once inside the metal housing the chances are that a rod has either broken, or pulled out of the catch.I have repaired two of these on my own car by – first-straightening the connecting rod as much as possible to gain more length, then, using red Locktite, insert rod into catch, and use a center punch and hammer on the catch to once again retain the rod. Don’t worry about the missing rivets, as the metal housing will stay together when re-assembled anyway.
