Engine pics please

Please can someone post a picture of a cabby 1990 clipper engine. I have what looks like a pipe missing on the left hand side as you look at it. It looks like it goes from the air intake pipe before the filter to the back. I would post a picture but having problems with my phone. If some can i may be able to spot it from there.

Thanks Neil

how this?

sounds like the air intake temperature vacuum hose. it plugs onto the rear of the carb. it's a pain to see.

That's not the standad carb/airbox/vacuum pipe set up in the above pic! How about this…

another one below, let us know what engine and which view in particular and someone could prob help a bit further

Thanks for your pics i have put a arrow where the pipe comes from of the air intake
and the other one is metal facing forward they look like they should be joined?

Sorry the engine is a 1.8



Thanks Neil

yeah they should be joined mate, from the platic bit pictured (very nicely too) to the metal bit on the exhaust manifold, its a piece of flexi pipe (about 2 inch thick), its for when your engine is starting/running cold, not much use though as the valve in the air intake sticks with age.  the pipe also disintegrates when you take them off/put them back on.  not sure if you can get them from VAG, try and find a 1.6/1.8 driver/gl mk2 breaking and steal it from that, its the same bit

Thanks whats the worst can happen if i dont replace it

Thanks Neil

nowt really mate, dont worry about it

Hi,

    as tomo320 says plastic to exhust manifold, have pictured with fuel filter moved to get a clear shot below. Think you can buy the metal hose from German Swedish French and then just cut to length.

 

Spot on Many thanks
