Title: Pipes on plenum
Post by: Martin_1962 on 23 August 2006, 18:52:17

4 at the back - what do they do as one is badly split (currently superglued)

The big one comes from the crankcase vent housing, splits into two (big) and joins the plenum. The two smaller ones, the left (as you look from the front of the car) comes from the smaller tube on the crankcase vent housing. The other one comes from the thingy bit next to the crankcase vent housing, the name of which I cannot think at this moment.

Here is a pic from the back to help everyone:

A= where the DIS pack should have been
B= The auto gearbox vent hosing (cut)
C= The Heater Bypass Valve (HBV)
D= Crankcase vent housing

HTH!

I think that is the one that didn't break. If I can find it, you can have it. PM me details and I'll send it off on Friday.

Fin, don't suppose you have any pics of the front of the engine? I also have a split pipe at the back (one of the smaller one's), but i'm pretty sure it won't effect the engine's running.....

At the end of the day its an air leak which isnt good......

You want the cambelt DVD, it has loads of shots of the front of the engine.
