Got a thick black pipe hanging near radiator not connected and i cant see where its connected to its not wet im bloody puzzled ..Cars not running hot and running well just about to consult haynes manual ..any one got any ideas

 

Something to do with the EGR perhaps?

 

yup, supposed to be hanging there, wont cause no issues.

easy enough to remove the full system also to allow the engine to breath better.

 

So not to be bothered with then ??

 

Na leave it unless you going to start modifying the engine on your car?

 

Cheer m8 thought it was something bad.......and about to cost.........

 

no shouldnt be, as long as it is the black tube that goes up to a black box hucked onto side of your manifold.

if it were anything else I guess it wouldnt be runnign as wel as you say it is anyway.

 

Does removing the EGR really make that much difference? I have a Mk6 RS2K and a mate of mine always tells me to take the EGR off asap.

 

Only of your intending to modify the engine in other ways such as cams, inlet, exhaust etc

if not just leave it.

 

There is no EGR on the RS, its an APS.

 

Bout time someone corrected them...LOL

 

please find where I referred to it as EGR?

I didn't feel the need to correct any one as I know what they were referring to.

EGR/APS - who gives a fuck lol

 

i dont ) but then i know the difference lol

 

What is the difference out of intrest?

 

Was not correcting you Kev, as I know you know whats what, and like me you must get sick and tired of correcting everyone!

It was for everyone else's attention.

EGR = exhaust gas recirculation, which I believe is for emissions/enviro reasons and does what it says, re-itroduces exhaust gases back into the inlet system.

APS = air pulse system and is used to bring the CAT up to heat quickly, as they only work once hot enough and again is for emission reasons, and it does this by bleeding fresh air into the exhaust manifold, which allows any un-burnt fuel present to combust and generate more heat in the exhaust and heat the CAT quicker. This usually only runs from a cold start up.

 

Na, I know mate. Was replying to the jedams (JJ) div above.
