I thought you might have an idea. Maybe not.

Is it before or after the air filter ?
After. On the large turbo hose directly behind the filter housing.

On my friends 300 tdi defender we purposefully linked the front diff and trf box and g/box breathers to after the filter
Alas he no longer has the vehicle - and we used thin tubing, attached the whole lot together using the bulkhead as a securing point
That's about as much as I can add

No, I didn't say it wasn't a fair question. I did say Oops (I forgot) and sent the reply with the details of my vehicle afterall.

Haven't got that on my 300tdi and don't remember seeing it on my mates.
I can't think what it would be for either. The air is being sucked through the filter and the elephants trunk (by the turbo), I really can't see any advantage in having an open to atmosphere pipe ?
Can you post a picture ?

Good picture, clearly see what you have.
I haven't seen anything like that before, at all.
I see you have all sorts of cables and pipes running across the back of the engine cable tied to the heater control cables...
I presume they are for boost gauges, EGT and additional windscreen water jets etc ?
Perhaps the PO had some form of vacuum gauge on the air inlet ?
Can't think how that would be usefull though.
Where does that black pipe go to ?

Yes I have all sorts connected. It doesn't go anywhere, just tied to the cables as you noticed and it had a screw in the end. Just doing some work at present when I noticed the pipe so it is a bit untidy. I bought it in 2006. It only had 36k on it and it's still in great condition except from the usual rusty bits. But I think I'll just stick a self tapper in it to block it off as I haven't noticed any issues anywhere I just wondered about it. Thanks again.
