2.0l 16v 1993 question

Could anyone of you knowledgeable souls enlighten me to as what this part is and should the other end of the pipe be just blanked off as mine is.

I am worried !!!

That pipe with the green cap is to allow a mechanic to 'sniff' the exhaust from under the bonnet without walking to the back of the car to stick a pipe up the exhaust pipe.

 

If you take the cap off it'll sound like the exhaust is blowing.

erm, Gav? It's actually so they can test the exhaust gas before the cat, rather than a lazy mechanic's aid... ;) :lol:

I meant it in a CO content, mixture setting context which isn't affected by the cat, if I am correct.

 

I still maintain mechanics, on the whole, are lazy. :roll:

 

I know I hate having to walk back to my garage to get tools when parked on the drive.
