clio 182 with a k-tec racing sticker on?

 

[DrR]

Pipe that goes to the acoustic valve.

 

[kevin_172]

meh didnt see arrow

 

[MattRS182]

the cable?

 

[DrR]

No it's pressure pipe, not sure what it does though.

 

[Tucker]

goes into the solenoid on the acoustic valve.

mine is cut off and has a pen lid jammed into it

 

[MattRS182]

how come iv never seen it on someone elses bay? :s have you guys?

 

[adams182]

Dont think ive got one there! saying that have not looked at my engine bay in ages!

 

[swirly182]

Mine doesn't have one of those pipes?! Noticed that bracket with a hole in and wondered what it was for...

 

[Fred@BTM]

the bracket with the hole in is for lifting the engine out

 

[MattRS182]

whats the cable though? it is meant to be there or not? what does it do?

 

[swirly182]

Read the replies, it isnt a cable. Its a vacuum pipe (?) which activates the solenoid on the acoustic valve. Perfectly normal.

Im guessing mine doesn't have an acoustic valve if this pipe isn't there!

 

[Fred@BTM]

that's not the standard routing either

 

[MattRS182]

Why would the routing be changed fred?anything serious?

 

[MattRS182]

Would does an acoustic valve do please explain? Cheers

 

[swirly182]

that's not the standard routing either

Sort of makes sense now, Matt's car has been molested

Wheres the standard route?

 

[Sean6545]

Routing is meant to be under the battery.

 

[Tom@JMS]

search acoustic valve on here, you will be enlightened! it reduces noise in the air intake to comply with swiss regs, complete waste of metal/plastic a lot of people pull them out me included!

 

[MattRS182]

Wonder why mine has been relocated then,car has warrenty so may get it sorted

 

[davo172]

how come iv never seen it on someone elses bay? :s have you guys?

Probly had an induction kit on before you got it and they put the std airbox back on to sell it ? never seen pipe there before on any other 172 182 :S

 

[MattRS182]

The person was on here but ain't been on since he sold it he pxd for mitsy colt

 

[john lloyd]

at some point it has been re routed. if it works just leave it there mate.

 

[madmike1]

could have been re-routed due to a clutch change or something. and then the mechanic put everything back under the battery but forgot that and could be arsed to take it all back out again. As said, if it works then leave it.

 

[Andyman]

Its probably been re-routed to there as the mechanic didnt want to bend his back or for quickness (BEING SERIOUS)

Its nothing to worry about but im guessing if it really bugged you, you could unplug it and relocate it on to the appropriate clips yourself?

 

[davebem]

As above its nothing to worry about and its nothing that needs to be fixed under warranty. You can easily unplug it and re - route it yourself but its not going to cause any damage how it is.
