Kaan W Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Its the long green pipe that goes up to the top of the picture it went through a series of rubber pipes and hardlines through the side of the engine bay then down back under the subframe where it exited to nothing. Any ideas? Also the rubber pipe that comes out the passenger footwell is it some kind of heater matrix overflow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Does it go far enough across to reach the charcoal canister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The rubber pipe is for the aircon. I assume your charcoal canister was removed before you got the car. IIRC that pipe has probably been joined together by the previous owner as there is a connection on the canister that exits though the engine bay.

Kaan W Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 It does bypass where the charcoal canister was so I assume it was for that at some point. Where does the rest of the pipe lead to underneith the car? I assume it can all be removed. Same as the aircon so the big rubber pipe can go? Ive not had a look at the heater matrix properly but mine needs replacing which I'm wondering if the whole aircon part can be removed as the gas pipe connector sticks out into the engine bay?

TheTurtleshead Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 It's believe it's the, "youshouldpaintyourcarabettercolourthanbattleshipgreybecauseitdoesn'tdoitanyfavours' pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) You need to remove the aircon matrix from inside the main heater box to get rid of the pipework that comes through into the bay. There is a cover that can be removed sort of more above passenger footwell area. I'm sure you will see what I'm talking about when you get to the heater box. I think I have some pictures of all the work I done on mine somewhere, should be in my build thread. The heater matrix is a different part entirely.
