Help me out here, what is this and why is it located there! seems strange to run a pipe all the way to a solenoid at the front and then back again and through the bulkhead. Done an engine swap and it's the last vacuum pipe I got left. I'm guessing it needs vacuum from the balance bar? Is it related to the AIV or EGR system 'cos I ditched both of them.

 

Where does it connect to and more importantly what is it!? Pics are of the solenoid and pipes and one of each end of the pipes:

 

 

Don't worry about the mess of pipes and wires and open T piece where the EGR used to be that's all sorted now, just this pipe left that I wanna know what it is before I blindly connect it to the balance bar!

 

 

It has been a while since I have delved into that region of the car, but the windscreen washer bottle lives down there.

Hmmmmmm, isn't that the rear screen washer pump and pipework??

Hold onto it and get someone to put on your washers. You might fell the water pumping up it.....

i think its the washers yes,

 

the garage actually wired mine from the bottle to the balance bar!

 

luckily i didnt squirt them, and noticed

This is the supplementary washer pump for the early SWB cars that have the washer bottle and main pump at the rear.

Sweet, cheers guys. That makes perfect sense, and yes it is a SWB with the washer bottle in the boot, guess they couldn't package it anywhere better so just stuck it there and ran the piping over the wheel arch. Bit poo but we all know what the Z's packaging space is like!

 

thanks
