Hi, can anyone advise what these flexi pipes are for? Should they be connected to anything? There is one on each side of my zed and only noticed them when I jacked the car up to do the 1st oil change since getting her. What a mess! :ohmy:The oil filter was leaking (for a while by the looks of things) and redecorated the underneath a lovely shade of brown!:scared: Off to get many cans of degreaser tomorrow. Lovely!!!

The pipes are grey plastic and look very simular to washing machine drain hoses :confused1:

I had a good look and cant see anything that looks like they should connect to

they are the AIV pipes, they connect to a pipe on the cats. Looks like yours has been bypassed so no need to worry about them.

Sorry still cant get the hang of linking pics

Cheers Steams. Thats one less thing to worry about. Just got the clean up job

no worries mate, if you follow the pipes they go under the the back of the wheel arch covers. You can remove it all if you want. There is also a solenoid in the engine bay that connects the AIV to the balance bar. All can be removed if you wanted to.
