Audi A2 - Which hose to use Seafoam in? - ChrisB1976

Hi,

My engine Management light came on in my Audi A2 1.6 FSI. It read as 17439 - Intake Manifold Tuning valve - Setpoint not reached.

After reading various tips I used some Wynns DIP3 which clears carbon out of the engine. After a few days this fixed the EML!

I've read that Seafoam is another product that is reccomended by Audi and something that I'd like to try. It says on the seafoam website:

"Locate a vacuum line that you are certain DISTRIBUTES EVENLY TO ALL CYLINDERS. On many vehicles the easiest option is taking the vacuum line from your brake booster PCV".

My question is : Which hose on the A2 is a vacuum line that distributes evenly to all cylinders?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Chris.
