Thread: CDL vacume hose with dirt

I went out over the weekend, it was a fantastic day, particularly as Timaus13 and Discopete came along too

Whilst enjoying the drive, I branch kicked up underneath, so I stopped and pulled it out. I didnt realise that it also pulled the vacume hose out of the cdl (lt95) and was haging underneath. Tim and I discovered the vacume hose was out when I couldnt disengage CDL. However, when we inspected the hose, it was blocked with dirt/mud picked up on the trip. I cleaned it out and now works fine again, however, my question is do I need to be worried about all the dirt it sucked into the engine before getting blocked? Do I need to do another oil/filter change (just did it a few days before the trip )... or will the oil filter do its job and no need to worry about it??

I think ill throw in a air filter just before the inlet then, in case this happens again in the future.

So I hope it hasnt scored the sleeves

Update: Just removed the 3 prong fitting that bolts onto the inlet and cleaned it all up. Then reinstalled, added inline air filter to it and tucked the hose away out of reach. So now, its done
