whats this pipe for???

Recommended Posts

just been trying to figure out why my car wont run propperly and came across this pipe! it comes from the manifold at the rear of the engine (copper/brass pipe) then runs up to a bracket on the inlet manifold where it turns to a rubber one then nothing!! whats it for & where is it meant to be attatched to? at the moment its got a bolt in the end of it to block it off for some reason.

Pretty hard to tell where the photo is taken or what engine it is.

 

But could it be the emissions sniffer tube off the exhaust manifold?

It's a 16v. Probably 2l, and as has been suggested is probably the pipe for snuffling at the emmisions.

Yeah i'd say it was the sniffer pipe too....remove that bodge of a bung and buy a new one from GSF or VW, they're only a couple of quid
