Due to problems with the last thread i started..........
Can anyone please enlighten me as to what the unconnected pipes/hoses/connectors in the following 2 pics are and where i should be connecting them to. Mechanic took the car 2 bits and the fcuked off leaving me to put it back together again



Cheers
Barry

 

hmmmm........quiet today

HELP

 

BTTT as i need to have my car back on the road asap

 

That looks like the powersteering reserver is missing mate..

Difficult to be sure with that lary colour!!!

I'll see if I have a pic...



I hope you didn't pay the mechanic?

Good luck

Thanks, sorry for being a bitunclear - the power steering bit i have under control its the 2 pipes nestling under the inlet manifold and the two connections which are part of the i/m in the other pic

 

Okay concerntrated a bit more..

It's a phase 1 engine... still cannot believe that inlet colour

if you look at this pic I think you can just about make out the two connectors.. once posted I'll go and look under my bonnet to confirm



One of the pipes I believe connects into the one on this picture that is disconnected.. it is the beathers from the cam covers.. should T together under the inlet and connect at either side of the block.. one near oil filler and the other on the opposite side at the top of the cam covers

Right just been out and checked..

On the first pipe the connector in the inlet pointing upwards (skywards) is the vacuum for the brakes.. it goes from there to the bulk head where it connects to a metal pipe that runs along the bulk head and then a rubber pipe from there goes into the brake cylinder.

The other connector coming out of the inlet on the side of where the sensor marked with ABC is drops down to the top of the block and connects to a connector there.. almost directly below the intercooler bracket in the picture.

One of the two pipes on the other pic is the cam breather but not sure about the other.. have a closer look and see if you can trace the pipes.. might be the crank case breather..

Cheers JGM, will attempt to finish it tonight
ps nothing wrong with a bit of metallic purple

 

No worries..

How did it go?

 

Everything went back together perfectly, cheers ...............but the inlet manifold gasket is leaking at passenger rear
