Hi, i have been looking into why my TT zx has started to smoke from passenger sode exhaust slightly, blue/white. also revs stick at 1500 sometimes when warm, turn ignition off/on and sometimes cures it.

I was looking round engine bay and any idea why this hose is removed and blanked and what its supposed to be connected to ? could it have anything to do with the problem ?

I have owned the car about 18monts and has been pretty much trouble free. Thanks

 

if off balance bar is it for carbon canister? whats the one next to it with nothing on?

I was thinking the blanked off hose should be attatched to the valve ?

someone wiser than me (that dont take much) will probably know instantly, but had a look and if its off the balance bar mines has a vacuum hose thats goes to front of engine! but no other connectoins like the one in your pic does it suck air?

Nope its not sucking air.

dan.:cool:

im now in the prcess of taking my engine out and because im not a macahnic ive have had to lable to every single wire and pipe so ill have a look tomorow and report back

if you don't have heaters working in your car that in the picture could be matrix bypass

Heaters work fine, air con has been removed previously to save weight ....... probably for that i reckon ?

Thanks for replies. Its not been connected for last 18 months or so and not had any probs until now so presume its not a problem.
