1.9gti Throttle Body

Recommended Posts

ajones12

Following on from my previous thread on throttle body hoses. I have taken a picture of how I have it at the moment, not necessarily correct - this is why I need your help.

 

Currently the hose ringed with the red goes to the expansion tank, the green one from the engine (head?) and the small diameter hose ringed blue goes err nowhere!

 

What is it supposed to look like? And what goes on the spare spigot??

 

Car is a standard 'H' plate 1.9 Gti.

The 2 coolant hoses are right, that smaller hose you have circled should go to the distributer vac advance thing.

What's the distributor vac advance? And what about the spare spigot?

Nothing goes on it. Its the same on mine, The vacumn advance it on the underneath of the dizzy cap. A mirror and torch might be needed to find it for the first time.
