John, I am not at home for about a week, so I can't look at the ETKA, but I am quite certain that there are two service ports; I know there are on my '91. I believe that one of them is behind the plastic cover on the left D pillar. Follow the hoses! It seems to me that there is an error in the Bentley either in an illustration or the text about which is the high and which is the low pressure side. Be careful, the high pressure is always the smaller diameter hose and the low pressure is the larger one. You can also go by where the hoses lead if you are familiar with the overall theory of the system. Have fun, Larry A.
