Title: What is this ?
Post by: Voodoo-Music on 18 April 2009, 14:32

With all the idling problems i decided to have another lok and noticed that something was clicking very loudly so i unplugged it only to find my idle go back to normal, plugged it back in and up the idle went. What is it and where does the pipes go ?

the one going off behind the turbo i think goes to the rear to the petrol tank as any fumes etc get put through and into the charcoal cannister as part of the evap system  :laugh: for emissions
