Title: Where does my spare pipe go??!!
Post by: M Kerr on 18 October 2008, 16:09:08

Hi all,

At the end of a marathon top end rebuild, not yet turned the key, I've got a "spare pipe"!  It comes up behind the plenum but is not one of the four breather pipes into the plenum.  It has been cable-tied there by VX technicians but I can't see any home for it.  It's diameter is about right to fit the plenum but I'm mystified.  (Hopefully it does not go onto somewhere deep down requiring me to strip back to get it in but hey...

Any ideas? :-[

Autobox breather mate. Normal to be there, it goes to atmosphere.

I can't wait for the result on this one :y

I replaced the dis pack, plugs and leads on my 3.0 V6 2 weeks ago
and obviously had to strip my engine to do it.
i then found the same tie wrapped pipe, i even removed my scuttle panel(Again)  to try and locate it. it seemed to run fine without it so did not worry to much , so you have now put that little niggle in the back of my mind to rest. thanks forum ;D
