What is this for?
« on: 09 July 2012, 09:16 »
Just found that this has snapped, the bit between my finger. You can see that it comes from the top of the black thing next to the coolant bottle. What is it, and could it be a cause of a leak?



Thanks

Thanks cullygti  :smiley: That pipe and the pipes next to it move up and down, as the thing they are connected to is not really fixed in, does that matter at all?

OK, thanks  :smiley:. I am just checking every pipe I can find, because I am so fed up of not feeling the remapped power any more :angry: especially after everything I have done to try and correct it  :sad: I am nearly at the stage of regretting having the remap done!  :undecided:

I deleted most of it with the catch can. I have the 5 piece turbo boost hose kit as well, n249 bypass, replaced a few other pipes with silicone, one under the inlet manifold to the fpr, and another by the side of it.

may sound silly but is the elbow that goes into the oil filter housing ok as they tend to snap  :undecided: if you have replaced most of the pipes and installed catch can i cant think what else it could be  :undecided:

That is a new-ish pipe too, and I checked it last week when I put the catch can on because I took it out to fit the pipe on that goes to the T piece into the catch can. All is fine there.

I am really scratching my head now!! The only thing I am thinking it may be is that I had to T piece the silicone lines to the one port on the N112 valve, because I snapped the one port. But I don't know if that will make any difference or not  :undecided:
