Could someone tell me what the part is called on the back of the head it's some sort of cover/bung that seals a metal pipe that comes off the head it's on the right hand side about half way down if your looking over the engine? Mine seems to be missing just looked at my mates and he's got a silver cover on his with some silicone hose? What's this bit called and what's it do? Thanks for your help

 

does it come off the inlet pipe to the turbo then goes across to the passenger side ?

 

No mate the one next to that it comes out the back of the head about a inch & half ?

 

picture would probably help.

 

I'll take one Tomoz cheers

 

is it a phase 1.5 engine ie 97-98 with the coil pack in the centre of the inlet, it sounds like a bung for the recirc dv, i'm assuming your mate has an aftermarket dv & you have a standard recirc btw dv is dump valve

 

It's a 2000 car mate and we both have same baileys dump valves got told it's something to do if you have a different turbo ? If it ain't got no bung in won't this make my car run a bit **** ?

 

How do I upload a pic if got one but won't let me do it could I email someone and they put it up please ?

 

use photbucket to upload photos, really easy and only takes a min.

Is that not the connection for the OEM DV's recirc hose?

If so, seeing as your running a VTA DV, then that needs plugging.

 

With it not being plugged will it affect it running ? What size plug do I need seen some on eBay ? Thanks

 

Without it plugged, the turbo intake hose will be sucking in unmetered air (i.e. after the MAF), so resulting in higher than normal (leaned out) AFRs. Ergo, the ECU won't "know" about the extra air, so can't add fuel for it to compensate - not good!

 

Stick a tape measure down and measure it.

You'll need a rubber/silicone pipe to join it also.

 

Assuming it's the same size as the Phase 1.5, then the external diameter of the pipe is 25mm.

God I've got some crap in the shed.

 

At least all your parts are in a convenient shed........ Mine are all in the bath/bathroom!!! Inc. a set of 4 OEM wheels/tyres!!!

I have 12 wheels/tyres in total in my pokey l'il flat!

 

Oh no they aren't. I've got 2 sets of wheels, a steering rack and a whole other assortment of crap in the dining room.

 

Howl!
