Title: Any ideas on what these are and do?
Post by: Mikester on 11 May 2008, 19:33

Was wondering what "A" is, as its broken? or is it?

And what "B" is, and is it broken? Its wet?

Any help would be great, cheers mike

That makes perfect sense, and so i would presume the dampness all over it is when air con thingy broke.

So any ideas on what "a" is?

Cheers, mike

As my rad works fine, brakes and steering etc all work fine. Just the a/c. be nice to know what it actually is so then i could maybe fit it?

Couldn't say what A is but B is your cold air intake for your interior fans. And as for it being wet, yeh it must have somthing to do with your A/C.
