Been under the bonnet this afternoon with matt the guy who has silver streak [to check on his wiring problem] and noticed the pipes in the attached pictures blanked off, and they aren't on silver streak !

 

Can any one enlighten me on this?

 

Had this car since 2003 [briefly sold it 2010] but never noticed this before.

EGR / AIVs been sacked off by the looks of it.

have you got your yellow one back???

 

 

in your 1st pic iirc there for you boost/vacume pipes that run to the aiv i think under the brake servo.

 

not sure on the other one. have you not asked this before, i have seen a pic like that before. is it near your fuel damper??

Not sure i have asked this question before not for the yella one, doubt it was for the silver streak because its still has the pipes attached!

So what is aiv ............what does/did it do~?

AIV = Air Idle Valve....

Is it for emissions ?? why is it on the car if you can just blank it off!!

google it or use the search button!

Aiv I thought was air injection valve. It is a pump in each wing which injects air in to the exhaust system to lower emissions.

correct and not really needed so usually junked..it`s the things that can gurgle in the wings when the valves get water in em, the pipes join the exhaust around the cat area.
