That's strange, looks like some kind of coolant pipe to me, also you can see a clip that it should be sitting in just to the left of it.

Does the pipe have a part number printed onit? Also it looks like its been cut to me.

No there's no part number on the pipe, thanks to James2 we think it should go onto the temp sensor, he's taking some pics of his today hopefully to see where it should go.
The pipe that's connected goes from the temp sensor straight into the heater through the bulkhead.

Re: Where does this pipe go? Now sorted

I've have now sorted out the mystery pipe.
Somebody had disconnected the pipes from the heater matrix.
Both ends of the pipe connected and job done.
No visible leaks so why it was disconnected is a mystery.
Thanks for all the help.
