Title: Where does this bolt on to?
Post by: Steve_B on 18 October 2008, 14:11
Was working on the engine and found this just hanging loose:

Looks like the bracket has rusted away. Where is it meant to bolt on to and what's this part called? Or can I get around using it somehow?

Cheers
Steve

bolts on to the exhaust manifold. the other end of the pipe goes to the airbox, its for hot air when running in the winter.

Ive never had a mk2 with one of these fitted (pipe usually dies) so cant say it make alot of difference personally.

both of mine had it. it protrudes from the airbox to the rear drivers headlamp back plate. with a bit of a tug it will come out make the hole in the front of airbox a lot bigger  :smiley:
