#1: Identifying pipe/ducting that has fallen from my car... Author: c128, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 5:40 am ---- I found the following hanging from underneath my 2001 diesel 206 2.0 HDI, to the right of the radiator as you face the front, about a month ago:
It wasn't attached to anything so, in case I lost it driving off, I just pulled it out from where it had been caught and said to myself "better have a look and find out what this is and where it has come from in case it's serious". Then I forgot all about it, but here I am now .
Anyway, I've just found it again a month or so on and the car seems to have been running fine since it came off - from a quick look over and under I can't see where it has come from either. I'm suspecting it might come from air filter ducting or something like that, but that's just a wild guess.
Anyone know what it is and whether I should be worried that it's no longer attached?

Here's another angle with a 2p coin in view:
The round end (facing) in the above picture has lugs that suggest it twists into something to lock into place - dunno what though... Last edited by c128 on Mon Apr 23, 2012 6:27 am; edited 1 time in total

Yep - I had a quick look over and under and unfortunately I can't see anywhere obvious where it might have come from.
I haven't had a detailed look though - just wondered if anyone could identify it straight away as something really obvious.
If it's likely something to do with the cold air intake, from what others have suggested, then I guess a good look over from the right-hand side in and around the air filter is in order.

The car's out today but I'll check today or tomorrow around the battery and air filter box - lots of Googling for images based on air intake etc., based on the above, doesn't seem to throw up anything that looks the same...

This isn't a picture of my car, as I haven't removed the bumper, but looking down from above it looks to be this:
...at least, I have nothing attached there from the fan, and the pipe that does come from the battery box connects to nothing further down.
Just trying to see if I can refit it without removing anything I don't need to.
