Pipe under inlet manifold blocked up?
« on: 30 December 2014, 17:15 »
Hi, I was checking the oil earlier when I noticed that there is a pipe connected under the inlet manifold that has been blocked off, what is it? (I have an agu)



Thanks, Mo

Pretty sure it's part of the pcv,these pipes a prone to rotting out.There are silicone replacements on ebay.Look here and you wil see where it connects to http://nomads.eurodiscussion.net/t1343-pcv-positive-crank-ventilation-20vt

I'm pretty sure my car doesn't have all that additional stuff, well I definitely couldn't see it earlier anyway.

AGU doesn't have SAI or N249.

From memory I think that pipe should connect to the top of your PCV...

Ah ok, assumed they all did.

Only done my sai delete recently, was amazed at how much of it there was, felt good getting rid

Thanks for the info, does my car actually need the pcv? because someone obviously thought that it didn't.
