that red pipe is a vacumm pipe that opens and closes the hot air flap inside the air box as there is no fucking air box there is no need for the red pipe

now when you buy a k&n induction kit it comes with a small rubber plug to plug the hole at the carb

now i had a k&n induction kit i plugged the hole and the was absaloutly no problem with my car

and it says that in the instruction i also did this to my friends astra and there has been no problem with her car either

the big black pipe u dont need the red one remove and plug up the hole if u cant find a plug keep the red pipe plug up the hole and tie it out of the way safely

adam

I doubt it, its a f'cking tiny hole

gunna say dont leave it open! plug it up, air gets sucked thru it, not pumped into it! and its not a carb by the way moddedcorsagsi

mines bin plugged wiv a screw 4 ages and hasnt dun nothin:lol: if u leave it open, it'll suck loadz of shite into the carb!!

cheers pete :thumbs:

DONT plug it up!!! Air gets pumped through that pipe, so all you'll do is cause pressure!!! Just pull the red pipe out and thats the job done!

ok will do

yeah just plug it up with a screw or sumink

plug the hole u sure yea?

red one just take it off and plug the hole

ok cheers

The red one is a vacum line. give T off another vac line and plug it in. Oh might be worth resetting the ecu aswell

The red one is a vacum line. give T off another vac line and plug it in.

Red one is what I told you on MSN, and the ribbed one is the heat pipe from the manifold area to send hot air to the standard airbox.

Pull them both off, keep the red one and give the ribbed pipe to your horny female neighbour! ;)

hi earlier today i fitted a BFO cone to my 1.4 8v

to fit it i obviously had to take out the old airbox but attached was two pipes which i dunno what they do.

but it seems to runnin very rich now. can smell petrol out the exhaust.

how do i stop this and what are these pipes for??
