F0CUE Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Does this look like it needs replaced or are these ones shaped like this at this end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 what engine is it? when I had mk1 focus 1600 it had a pipe that looked like that on front of engine that ran under the inlet manifold. I can't make out on your pic quite where it is. The car started having high tickover, the pipe looked like that and on the other side of it had split letting in air. I never did replace it. I just wrapped a ton of good quality insulation tape round it. Wasn't easy to get to. A bodge, not to save money, but because I wanted to fix it there and then and not wait for part/drive miles to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 It's the 1.6 sigma/duratec. That is behind the inlet but the pictured part just sticks out near the alternator and the part below the straight part is the throttle body.

F0CUE Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Does anyone else have any opinion on it? I'm trying to track down whistling noises the intake is all right I've done the close off test and the engine nearly died so no leaks in there.

F0CUE Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Well it feels soft I assume it's needing replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 yes, I reckon it is failing and will split 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Is there a method to removing these things? I tried today with limited time at work and it was just stretching more than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Got it with a bit of twisting and brute force they weld on tight so guess this is a variation of the pcv and crank? The pcv valve fell on the road lol and you need hands of a fairy to get in there to put it back in. Anyways this is defo got to be the whistle issue. I'm resetting the ECU to cater for the air change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
