see the silver foil tube - on my car I don't have one? The bit it goes into on the left has a mark as if something has been there (mine is a 1.1 mk1) not sure where it is suppose to connect to

What is this part/what does it do?/will it cause me any issues? I have a rev issue but dont all saxos :wink:

cheers

I believe they changed that on mk2's.

Is to let the heat out from the manifold is it not?

Why does it look like it's connected to the CAF (cold air feed)?

Not a clue lol, why put warm air in a cold air feed?

Apparantly, according to my friend, its to heat the engine up quicker in the cold mornings. although why its going into the cold air feed i shall never know

Oooh so maybe this is could help my revs.. in the morning I have to sit n rev before I can go or it dies out.

Any chance anyone else with an MK1 can get a pic to clarify?

Repped you guys thanks ^

The above post is right might be something to do with it being single point injection(a guess)the piping can be picked up from a good motor factor.
