Hi, hoping someone out there can help.

I have a 2001 P38 2.5d "wessie".
Was under the bonnet today and noticed that the braided hose coming from the air inlet intake manifold was not connected to anything. Trouble is I can't see where the braided pipe should be connected to.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

....Thanks for the swift replies - much appreciated. Will have a look at it in the morning. :)
 
Ether the pipe has snapped or it been attached to a T piece going to a power box ...possible :rolleyes::D..
 
That depends on the age of the car, on late ones it make no detectable difference as long as the sensor is electrically OK.
OP, check the manifold spigot is not blocked.
I agree with the power issue. My mates 2001 pipe was rotted to dust when he got it, replacement made zero difference.
 
Mine's a 2000 and refitting the pipe made me think I had a different engine in it.

Later cars had MAF fitted so it knows how much air there is from that. Early cars had to work it out from pressure and temperature. Later cars don't use the inlet air temperature either, hence the weird negative value from the Nanocom. You'll notice it if the MAF starts acting up though.

IAT is in the MAF
