Hi folks,
picked up standard airbox parts to put back on the VTS, the car when I bought it came with an MTC elbow and an open cone on it. Parts arrived and also came with an unexpected pipercross panel filter, so all in all a decent ebay find.
Got it fitted and happy with it, however there seems to be an O ring or similar missing - it goes on the pipe which the resonator then sits on top of, to locate it snugly in the bottom of the resonator. I can probably bodge something up but just wondered if anyone knew what the part is supposed to be ?
I have seen the exploded diagram and it doesn't show anything, however I have it on good authority that there should be one, also it really doesn't locate properly as it is - just sits there without anything close to a seal, which can't be right?
Cheers
Craig
PS - after a bit of reading where most people seem to suggest binning it and adding a direct cold feed to the airbox, I also found this article (linked below) which claims to explain / justify the reason for such a device. Not saying it is accurate, however it does make sense and I guess in the end either you believe that PSA designers designed it / tested it / proved it in terms of it's function, or that they just whacked it on for noise reduction. Who knows. I plan on retaining the full standard intake now, just with panel filter replacement and see how I find the car.
