While messing in the engine bay today I came across this, can anyone tell me what it's for?
Was next to the inlet manifold and throttle body, I mean what the blue screw cap is connected to!

Fuel rail bleed valve?
Yup, it's the fuel rail, I know that 'cause thats what the guy attached his Terraclean machine to.
its the Schrader valve on the fuel rail, you use it to de-pressure the fuel rail or testing the pressure
Thank you very much so nothing important then haha
could end up nasty if you snap it off lolQuote:

Oooh, interesting...
ah i didn't buy a complete kit like that, i sourced everything individually but still did look for a fitting with no luck (might have to have another look now, just in case lol)Quote:

ring them pedro - they dont bother listing all of the fittings seperately online. they were a pretty helpful bunch.
