I have removed the intercooler on a MY00 classic to fit an oil temperature sensor. I've come to put the intercooler back on and noticed the small diameter hose which connects underneath the throttle cable pulley isn't connected to anything on the right hand side (from front of caR). It looks as though it may loop back round to join the nipple on the other side but could someone look at theirs and advise please. Help much appreciated!!

This is the hose in question


Does this connect to the nipple that can be seen under the intercooler hose?? ie. in a loop?


Many thanks. Gav

 

Looks like you have connected one of the pipes up wrong!!

The thin water hose in the bottom right of the second picture should go to the throttle body where you have no pipe attached, the hose in the first picture should then connect onto the small hardpipe which points up in the air (the one you have connected up wrong at the moment)

Make sense?

 

Many thanks SSCJAY. Bit worried though as i haven't altered that connection. Have now switched over though so hope all is ok. Thanks for the help.

 

Glad to be of help, some people do this to stop the hot water flowing through the throttle body. It wouldn't have caused any problems though.
