I already thought so but didn't want to break or destroy anything. Thank you!

Many thanks for the explanation, thanks to your help I have finally understood the schematics correctly! That really helps a lot. Now I can assign it correctly. You guys are the best, I am so grateful to have found the forum. Cheers Ben

Hey everyone, I was just wondering which hose is for opening the air conditioning valve, and which is for the emissions' canister? One hose has a light blue or purple original stripe, the other does not. Can you tell me which one is for the valve and which one is for the canister? Both...

In January 2024, I started with the complete underbody to bring it back to OE specifications. The car was professionally dry ice blasted in advance to get rid of dirt and other impurities.

Some more details from the end of the year 2023 before I started with the underbody.
