Title: Black Plastic Box With A Pipe Going To It Behind Passenger Side Wing. What Is It For?
Post by: R6UYS on 10 October 2010, 20:34

Pretty much what the title says really. WTF is this? looks like it has a small vac pipe going to it?

Central locking pump.

I thought that was in the boot? The pipe is not connected and the central locking is still working?

Sorry I read wrong, I'm not too sure but I'm guessing is locking related.

I saw the box you are talking about the weekend on the one I am breaking and was wandering the same. I am guessing it has something to do with the central locking as it has the same air pipe as the central locking and to my knowledge nothing else is air controlled (is it ??).

nothing to do with central locking  :grin:

it sounds like the vacuum reservoir for the aircon system
