Daviewonder 533 3 Cars Posted January 22, 2010 looks like some sort of egr valve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,650 Posted January 22, 2010 Probably some kind of low emission s*ite. Where is the pic from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,737 Posted January 22, 2010 difficult to say without a closer picture, but it looks like a TU engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugdamo 112 2 Cars Posted January 22, 2010 I would say some king of EGR set up,never seen anything like that before on a TU lump,how weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcmini1989 16 Posted January 23, 2010 looks like the old ford egr setup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy Seize 8 Posted January 25, 2010 Looks like the old Pulsair system from the 1.6 GTI. A already stated, this was an emission device in the pre-cat aera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Yorke 270 3 Cars Posted January 25, 2010 Looks like a TU engine so those will be on the exhaust manifold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RossD 44 Posted January 26, 2010 Yea, air is pumped into the exhuast manifold to "dilute" the emissions, kinda the opposite to EGR! Rover V8's had this back in the 80's. Not all TU's had this, only some specific markets with strict emissions rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
