What is this pipe?!

[hon_n_gem]

The one just by the front of the engine cover?!

Its wierd as its sort of been cut and put back into place?!

 

[hon_n_gem]

anyone?!

 

[robdf2]

you talking about the hooped one?

 

[FAST AL]

Mines the fr diesel but I would say thats the power steering pipe.

If theres a problem take it back to the dealer and ask them to clarify.

 

[hon_n_gem]

I'm talking about the one just covering the dip stick?! The one going down the side of the engine cover and then down the front.

 

[FAST AL]

Me thinks its an oil breather pipe.

 

[stuartsjg]

i dont think it will be power steering, im sure all seats use electric power steering.

Can you get a shot of where it goes at either end?

It looks like a coolant pipe but seeing what its connected to would help.

Thanks,
Stuart

That pipe goes between the air intake and the remotely located diverter valve. Its a boost pipe which operates the DV.

 

[FAST AL]

Glad someone has cleared it up.

The Hooped pipe is part of the Aircon system.

They're electro-hydraulic operated, so will still need power steering fluid.

I will go with dan on this one it goes to you dv

If memory serves me correct, does it say electro-mechanical steering, what is the mechanical, direct mechanical or hydraulics to effect the mechanical part? Just curious, not saying anyone wrong, never saw and power steering fluid reservoir in there.

Correctly. It's the DV return pipe. Once the DV blows, blown air flows through this pipe back to the intake. It serves two purposes. One to keep the blow noise down, two to keep the volume of the air measured for the correct trim. What you perceive as a cut pipe is simply a harder sheath to keep the inside softer silicon pipe bent.

 

[hon_n_gem]

Ahh brilliant, so the two "cuts" are just infact an other tube to keep the softer inner tube in check?!

Many thanks guys.
