I'm going to fit my freewheeling hubs. And I want to do away with the vac part as I don't need it. I know this has been covered before. But I can't find it on the site. There was a thread on here how to link two wires that go to one of the solenoid valves that operate the vac hubs and this tricks into thinking it's still working and does not bring the flashing fault light up.
Anyone know of this little trick.

I thought there was a plug that had to be linked. So all I have to do is link the vac pipes together at the hubs. And block the hub pipes off this will fool the system into thinking the hubs are still active. Am I right.
