Bobbeh Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'm not sure if I've asked about this before, but have noticed this pipe not to have something connected to it.. any idea what it is for and whether it should have something in it? Its near the passenger side at the rear of the engine bay, behind the dip stick. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Maybe its a UK spec screamer pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think it's possibly the aircon charging nipple? -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 For re-gassing? That sounds familiar actually.. but should it have a cap on it or is the thing/system pressurised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 My jspec doesn't have that - whatever it is! I was wrong, just checked a pic and mine does have one, but has a grey cap on it. As Ian says, looks like an air con pipe. see pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Thanks Darryl and Ian. Maybe I'll have to source one from somewhere, although I know its not been on there since I've had it and the aircon is still working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 The cap should have a H or L on it, judging by the thickness of the pipe that'll be the L side, or low pressure. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the caps are there to stop gunk getting in the nipple itself. If you ever need an air con regas it'll probably be best blasting the nipple with an air line beforehand.
