osso Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Yep me again! been busy this morning! well i've fixed the Traction control then i started nosing around in the engine bay and i've found a metal pipe near the oil filter which disappears towards the pressure tank area... see attachment.. What the heck is it? whats it for? and more importantly should i have a hose which connects to it? Cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osso Posted October 26, 2003 Author Share Posted October 26, 2003 Obviously I guess its not the kinda thing you look for until you've got problems with ya car Looks like no one else has any ideas what it could be either... strange cuz at the tip of the tube there's a little bulge around the rim as tho a rubber hose should be connected to it..

Ian C Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 http://www.mkivsupra.net/resources/turbopipes/images/pressure_tank_vsv.jpg Looks like a hose has come off your emissions system VSV gubbinsy stuff. I haven't looked at this part of the vacuum system in great detail but there should be a hose on there Where it goes to, who knows Actually, you'll probably find there are some metal pipes under the intake manifold going towards the throttle body, and I suspect you'll find one of these doesn't have a pipe on either... Could be part of your boosting problems. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osso Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 Great thanks for the picture Ian, I assume you took it yourself, I will have a look into this and see what the VSV for the emissions system actually does, and then see how this could effect my boosting problems! might be unlikely that it has anything to do with it, but we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
