Title: Air intake pipe at front of plenum is split.
Post by: Albatross on 31 May 2008, 18:27:57

Whilst changing the oil and air filter today I spotted a long split about 3/4 of the way around the NS 3" diameter plastic intake pipe that has a 90^o bend and is jubilee clipped onto the front of the plenum. It is the left hand pipe of a matching pair.

I have temporarily fixed it with black duck tape for the weekend and will get a new one on Monday, but what is this pipe called and what will the effect have been to how the engine runs whilst it has a split like that?

Effectively one half of the engine has been getting warm unfiltered engine bay air directly through that split for as long as I know.

It is also air that is not metered by the airflow meter so it will affect the mixture.
