is that not something to do with the acoustic valve?

if so you can safely bin it.

Yeah, the actual butterfly valve-motor bit, the bracket and electrical connector definately look the same

 

[Henry]

yeah, it looks as though the plastic tube with the butterfly valve in it is missing?

so long as its vacuum take-off from the plenum's blocked, should be OK

Oh wait....

lol at the rivet, plugging a vaccum point I imagine, would make sure you don't have an open vac point drawing air into the engine.

Looks like the acoustic v/v to me, without the plastic housing

 

[rory182]

looks to be exactly that, is the white bit with barb a check valve? i.e. residual vacuum on one side?

 

[Fred@BTM]
