should this be connected

Post by Peg leg Pete » Sat Mar 29, 2014 9:07 pm

Under passenger seat close to end of bleed pipe is a contraption with tubes attached one is just dangling free, think this is something to do with exhaust valve(have winter pack) will attach a photo tomorrow, bongo is sluggish up hills and black smoke is now becoming more evident! :(
any ideas? thank you :)

Mines not connected to anything either
Just curls down into a tubular crossmember under engine
I'd like to know what it is now
Looks like some kind of pump / vacuumed thingy

Do you have the winter pack? think it is to do with Exhaust, our other Bongo did not have this valve thing fitted and was a single batter version!

It looks like it could be the filter breather pipe.
