what is this , what does it lead to, and why is it capped? its near the vac hoses coming from behind the engine to the ACV and the red hoses that go to turbo and BOV etc...... check the pic

 

anyone anyone? i looked in the haynes manual and its not even in the friggin schematic

 

impossible to tell without tracing it back to the source, that picture sucks (sorry)..

yea it was dark ill brighten it in PS

 

Don't zoom in so close. Without seeing anything around it it could be anywhere.

 

what, you never played that game when you were a kid where you had to guess what the object was from the close up...

 

Does it go to egr maybe?

 

S5's don't have EGR.

Strictly from the location of it, I would say FPR. Does your car have an aftermarket FPR?

 

Damn thats what i was gonna say to.

isnt the egr behind the engine itself...like at the firewall...il take a better pic today....its over by the ACV on the pass side of the IC and a little bit near the BAC valve

 

could it be a vac hose going into acv to keep air dumped into the cat at all time...?

 

the first person to guess this will get a screw from me

 

get some more pics...

 

cruise control?

pictures:

 

errr.... how bout some pics of where it goes maybe?

 

it goes behind the intercooler and i cant get down there with a camera......its not even in the damn schematic in the manuals..which i dont friggin get

 

It looks like a red tube thats attached to the engine and has a screw at the end of it?? And its really short. Do you have your ACV still attached? If so id say its just capping one of the vac lines and i wouldent worry about it. I have like 5 lines caped in that same area where the ACV was removed. Try to find out if any systems were removed like the acv for example

 

um you can see the acv in the pics.

where is that red line with the tee in it going?

mike

 

Un cap it and see what happens

 

its weird...if its just capped with a screw from the factory...its a screw, no real cap or fastners...the red with the T is going to the BOV from the ACV and it T's to my gauge

 

yea it runs from the vac lines to a little red hose, maybe 3/4" long, and its capped with a screw

and yea as j9fd3s said before...my acv is there....its pretty visible i think

 

Instead of showing us pictures of the last inch of a hose, why not trace it and see where it goes?

 

Maybe the previous owner had a boost gauge?

 

read up a bit dr0x...i already said :

it goes behind the intercooler and i cant get down there with a camera......its not even in the damn schematic in the manuals..which i dont friggin get

it travels down and i cant follow it

boost gauge maybe, but this isnt coming from the turbo
