  • pipe running just under front lip

    Hi, had my car serviced today 1999 s50, looking under the car, looked ok, apart from there is a hose at the very front running under the radiator connected to some form of pump. I did take photos, but not sure how to post them, will look into it unless someone wants to tell me.

    The pipe looks pretty old and the jubilee clip is very rusty, think its due to fail sometime soon, just wondering what it is and does. Its not the water pump, was wondering if it was air con? Its the very lowest thing under the radiator, running in the same plane. Part numbers would also be very useful, many thanks.

    If anyone knows please let me know, thanks Dave, Its quite a thick pipe!

    The pipe takes air from the air filter housing to the aux air pump

      I might need your direct line lol. Well I think I will live with it and put a new clip on, if it was a water pipe i would do it straight away. Thanks Dave

        You can remove all that without any ill-effects. I've removed the pump, pipework etc as it was all really scruffy looking and put a bung on the exhaust valve (it's naturally closed anyway), and a silicone end cap on the air box.

        Then put a shorter aircon belt on.
