Hello fellow Aston owners!.
Been planning to change my Vacuum hose(more like fitting a new one since it's totally worn out lol..)
I've done some research it was the main reason why there's a CEL and stall rarely.
I've been wondering what is circled one for?


I own a 13 V8S. I've tried to look at the photos of the engine several times online and looked at the manual. but did not find the correct answer.
Here are some shots of the engine

You can see there is one header for the engine and one for the pressure vacuum reservoir.

One at the left far back of the engine.
The rest is out of reach. which seems to be a single head. I've been planning to do it myself since it seems a fairly easy job to do ( plug and remove ). If not I'd be happy to go to the specialist.
From where I live it can be hot and moist in the summer, thus I believe there could be more parts that are worn out and If you believe so I'm all ears.
To end this I'd be happy if someone could provide me with a diagram guide or a photo!

 

I can't help you with this specific question, but you can replace vacuum line with aftermarket line. Elbows in the original hose can be made using brass 90 degree fittings. I do recommend a single ear clamp tool (and not the standard screw type clamp). You will be able to see more by removing the plastic cover - I suspect you will find where they come into the intake manifold.

Good luck!

 

ever consider getting you're engine cleaned and detailed? it can help preserve rubber hoses e.t.c under the hood...

 

I'd want too, but doing that would damage the engine more, if not taken care of.

 

Is yours the only AM in Sharjah? I can't imagine trying to keep it clean there - I hope you can park it indoors!

 

Actually, It's a really clean car (outside!). I do park it indoors!. it's the first and only AM in the town.

I really want to clean the engine bay but not with that problem. Also using aftermarket lines was a brilliant idea! , gotta bring the car to a garage for a fix. Could've done it myself if not for removing an intake manifold was a mandate.
plus somehow most Vantages models (2013 onwards) did not have an EGR valve and so it actually answered my question! thought something else was missing.
