Hi All
Before recently joining this forum, I would lift my bonnet, briefly look in, gulp and then quickly close the bonnet and pretend that the engine compartment didn't really exist. Now I'm getting braver and am actually have a good look around to try and learn what does what, which may lead to a few silly questions. here is the latest....

The top radiator pipe (drivers side) that runs across the engine bay (to the secondary cooling pump?), is wedged between the radiator and the resonance pipe switch over valve (see picture), which doesn't seem right to me. Also, there is a plastic clip on the pipe to the left of the valve that is currently unemployed. Could someone on the forum with a V6 facelift with climate control please have a look and tell me where this pipe should route when passing the valve, and where the clip should be placed?

Thanks Pat

The clip has broken off the top edge of the radiator/fan cowling where it should run....
