Right does anyone know what the pipe is for on the pictures. It comes from the back right hand side of the engine and goes into the top of the intake pipe just above the throttle body?? Is it important and can I run the car without it.
Also the gunk in the first pic was in that pipe. Does anyone know what it is and why its there (is it bad news)
