Hi,
1986 560SL I was working on the Idle Control Valve and accidentally disconnected the hose to the Vacuum Control Valve. I dont have a diagram on my car. I can't find where the yellow hose connects. Doing a search, I see another user had similar request but not answered.
Where does the yellow hose connect?

Thanks in advance.

Hopefully this helps.

Here is the section I found in the online service manual that has diagrams.

Also a lot of vacuum diagram info and schematics in this post:

You just need to dig through to find your applicable chart as they are not in order.

I don't have a 560, but my first guess for that line would be to look for a thermal vacuum valve burried under stuff on the intake area. Valves usually have a single straight up connection off the top and another that comes off at an angle. They open and close by temp. Just a guess looking at it. As I said, don't have a 560 so no direct experience.

Hope the diagrams help!
