after changing the cat, and fighting with the 850, the metel hose that comes from manifold to airbox is split, was quite brittle any way,
what is that part called, or where can I get a replacement. ? cheers :-)

which pipe is it? if you have a pic i will have one.

Am I right in thinking that this would be on a non turbo 850 ? If so it's called, erm......well it's called..........it takes heat from the exhaust manifold in cold temperature conditions to prevent intake icing or at least that's the theory, don't know exactly what it's called sorry !

[Shortbusdriver1969]

yeah its from the manifold to the air box, I can not take pic and post on here as this site always fights back when I try to post pics :-(

[speedt5r]

it will probably be the heat transfer to air box as already said,not sure what model you have but if its aluminium flexi pipe i think they do it in most car shops.
old cars with non computerized ignition systems needed them in very cold weather but i modern electronic not needed to be honest.

+1 to speedt5r.

It can be useful for climates like Alaska and Canada, but not really necessary for North Yorkshire (even though it can get a bit parky up there!).

on my old Jeep instead of having the pipe go to the manifold i fed it to a bumper vent, it did actually freeze up in the winter. The AA weren't impressed when i called them out after it spluttered to a halt, but by the time there man got there it had thawed itself & ran fine. Did that for a whole week before anyone realized & repiped it then lol
