Wullie 1 Posted February 3, 2009 There is one connection, plain white, on the engine side of the airbox which goes to the front connection on the throttle body rubber elbow and one from a sensor just behind the airbox which appears to go to the rear connection on the elbow.IM000166.JPG[/attachment:oqxd5vfo] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wullie 1 Posted February 3, 2009 Hmm, this pic didn't want to go on with the other one. It's at the rear of the airbox. I think I'm too old for this computy type thingy stuffIM000167.JPG[/attachment:384n59xm] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glens16v 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Cheers wullie I have just one pipe left it goes from the valve at the bottom of the air box the gray one in the centre of the second pic I think they was a T piece on it then it went to the left hand of the servo pipe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wullie 1 Posted February 3, 2009 Had a close look, with my specs on. The grey one in the second pic 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfIM000169.JPG[/attachment:30iqer3z] has a green T piece with a short leg to, Ithink its the overun cut off valve on the back of the air box. It then splits again at a Y shaped connector, the red bit in the picture with one leg going to the throttle body elbow and the other leg running behinf the heat shield at he back of the engine compartment where it meets with another T piece.IM000170.JPG[/attachment:30iqer3z] One leg connects to the metal covered hose that connects to the back of the upper inlet manifold, just visible at the bottom centre of the second pic. The other leg does a disappearing trick back along the bulkhead, I think to the multi function indicator according to the Golf and Jetta manual I have. Perhaps others could verify. It's now chucking it down so I've retreated indoors. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
