Title: Pipe under inlet manifold blocked up?
Post by: MoMartin on 30 December 2014, 17:15

Hi, I was checking the oil earlier when I noticed that there is a pipe connected under the inlet manifold that has been blocked off, what is it? (I have an agu)

Pretty sure it's part of the pcv,these pipes a prone to rotting out.There are silicone replacements on ebay.Look here and you wil see where it connects to http://nomads.eurodiscussion.net/t1343-pcv-positive-crank-ventilation-20vt

I'm pretty sure my car doesn't have all that additional stuff, well I definitely couldn't see it earlier anyway.

AGU doesn't have SAI or N249.

From memory I think that pipe should connect to the top of your PCV...

Ah ok, assumed they all did.

Only done my sai delete recently, was amazed at how much of it there was, felt good getting rid

Thanks for the info, does my car actually need the pcv? because someone obviously thought that it didn't.

I didn't know what to look out for when i first bought it to be honest.

The problems I've had to fix so far are -
he had the front higher than the back by a good inch or 2,
had the forge 007p installed as an atmospheric dump valve,
cut a hole in my bumper to suit the fmic, rather than hiding it behind the bumper,
hid a small cone filter inside the air box (smaller than the panel filter),
sheared a stud for an aftermarket downpipe he installed
and i'm sure theres more to come too

that's a small list that's easy to fix  :whistle:

Easy, but almost all of it cost money to fix
