Where does this pipe go?
« on: 15 July 2013, 18:34 »
Just bought a 1.8t agu.

Its been running rough, changed the maf, plugs and coils, temperature sensor and 02 sensor.

Whilst under the bonnet ive found this pipe just sitting there not connected to anything, does anybody know where it goes? does it need blocking off?

It does have an induction kit fitted.
