Re: Newbie here
Welcome. What's the plans? Daily? Race car? Dogging?
Re: Newbie here
Its my daily driver, but has got volvosport springs on the front and i need to fit the blocks on the back.
Quick question where is the pipe that originates from the driverside headlight area meant to be connected on the engine? as mine was floating about in the engine bay this morining.

Re: Newbie here
welcome! get some photo's up!
Guessing the pipe is for the headlamp washers, it should push onto one of the pumps that sit on the side of the washer fluid tank or a t-piece somewhere close

Re: Newbie here
naa it looks like an air hose
only place i can see it could fit is onto a metal plate covering the exhaust manifold, doesnt seem to serve a purpose though

Re: Newbie here
You've had your hot air flappy thing removed....
The hose by the headlamp goes to a 3 way junction with a flap in it, that also connects to the metal plate on the exhaust manifold. They are the hot and cold air feeds that then go to the air filter housing.

important or not
Re: Newbie here
Hi mate and welcome.
being a 91 car, does it have a cat fitted?
My 91 donner car has one.Seems when they got modern, they stopped building them.
Lets see a few pics of the motor.
Cheers Mark.

Re: Newbie here
Not really, it's meant to stop carb freezing but I ran my 1.7 for a year without really noticing it was missingHeppie wrote:important or not
Re: Newbie here
I also didn't run mine for a long time. They are great when they work, but they seize. I'd remove the hose though so it isn't flapping!
