Ho,don't worry,

It is the air intake of your Fuel Burner Heater !
Perfectly useless on summer ....

I'll tell you how to test it if you want

YES PLEASE MIKE

can you explain its purpose

the car has failed to start on two occassions

ive checked the fuel pumps changed the filter and cleaned the electrical sensor connections

could this pipe be a cause of non starting

suffolk boy · 7th August 2011, 20:26

the fbh will not have anythink to do with your starting unless it is runnig down your battery.it only works when the air temp drops to minus 5 .so it should not be running at this time of year unless you live in siberia.when it runs in the winter it warms the car quicker and keeps you nice and warm

does it use the same temp gauge as the one that displays outside temp? as mine always shows -30
