What is this tube? Where does it go? 1990 760 Turbo

Post by Infiniteresignation »

Hi All,

I have one remaining tube hanging loose in my 1990 760 Turbo. I have included a picture. It is very thin and yellow. It doesn't look like the vacuum or fuel lines elsewhere. There is another tube that looks like it that is connected. Both come out of the firewall on the passenger side. Does anyone have any idea what kind of tube this is and where it might terminate? I have a feeling it might need to connect to a different size hose before it terminates, since the other one does, but I don't have any idea where it might go because I don't see any more openings anywhere.

Thanks!
Rosa

I did read it, but maybe I copied something wrong. Does it work now?

It almost reminds me of the overflow tube that is on the washer fluid reservoir for draining excess fluid. Obviously it's not for the fluid in this case, but not entirely sure what it's for..

Just a guess, but it looks to me like the hose that goes up to the hood for the window washer jet that the window washer fluid comes out of.
