Strange objects.

Ziggur · 14-05-2007, 17:40

Opened the bonnet of the new car today to see what is in there.

Discovered how to change a bulb, top up the screen wash, and other normal stuff. Checked the lid of an unidentified object and the whole thing came out - a part-used plastic bottle of Autosmart Vinyl Shield. When I located a COSHH sheet for this product I was a bit concerned to find that it is "a combustible liquid" and should not be applied near "hot surfaces". Laying around in the engine compartment.

Yet another complaint to take up with the dealer.

There was also another object that I could not identify. It is a sort of oval- shaped lid covering a 60mm tube running down the back of the right hand side of the radiator. I suspect that it is an exit rather than an entrance. Can someone identify please?

Can you take a picture of said object and when you say right hand do you mean as you look into the engine bay?

Yes it is on the right as I look from front to rear.

I can take a pic if necessary but I have had a thought. Is it the air intake to the filter?

Not sure, If you can pop a picture up I would be fairly certain somebody can tell you exactly what it is
