Hi, so long story short, I cleaned my engine with some 3M foam and water after covering the electric parts :p dont worry .

Just after the clean is finished , I went into a ride, and you know it's soo hot in Qatar , so I started the AC, and BOOM , the air is coming from the wrong vents -__-
from the defroster vents to be exact .

so done some researches and I find out that it's most likely a vacuum line the is broken , and I need to track it and fix it/replace it...

so I popped the hood, took a look on the passenger side and found this..

you can see the broken line . and that rubber/plastic hose ...

so , it's a good luck it's just here, from of my reading leads to that this line might be broken under the dash , and will need to track it down and take the dash apart ...

so here is my tools, " I did not really buy anything , it's from old things from old fixings. "

so , I took out that rubber connector between the two lines, "black and the white lines"

and here we go to what we need

you will need anything to cut the line straight. and a zip tie " optional " and covering pipe " also optional " and the main thing , the new line ...

in my case I used a fuel line from the Nitro Rc cars hobby it's about the same size and will be good enough to hold still and work just fine

I used zip ties to tight it good so it wont pop out .

tight the other side, but not too much so you wont break it ,

you might as well cover it

you might as well use a zip tie to hold it with the other lines and to keep everything look clean and good.

and here we go , the engine after cleaning .. :) and the AC is working just fine,
