problem with hose

[paolo_GTIR]

hello with all,

my GtiR is almost finished... on the other hand I have a concern with a hose connection.

I does not remember any more, if this hose connection were connected or not at the time of disassembling...

this hose connection is strange... it is pierced with 4 holes... and a reducer is has the interior...

and there is a fast fastener with the end... as if it were connected on something. All the remainder is ok, but I have a doubt on this subject. thank you for your assistance.

Paolo

It plugs over the lug that the Idle Adjust screw is in.

I really don't know what the purpose is for it - except to make it harder to get to the screw.

I dropped mine down the back of the engine somewhere and haven't seen it for several months It has made no difference to the running of the car at all.

I'm sure someone knows why it is on there

I believe the purpose of it is to make access to the idle adjustment screw easier. As, it provides a guide for a screw driver. Other than this and protecting the idle screw, it serves no other purpose. If you don't like it, bin it
