Porsche 924 engine - missing duct? |
|
|
Hi,
I've had this 924 for a few months now and always thought I had a duct
missing of some sort. There's a white plastic air intake attached to the
front panel of the engine bay over to the left-hand side (if you were
looking towards the engine). However, there's nothing attached to it.
Photographs of 924 engines seem to show that this vent should have a large
piece of ducting attached to it which goes down towards the bottom of the
engine - what is it for?
Cheers,
Chris.

There is indeed a plastic air duct that heads towards the alternator
(which has an intake opening) - the final connection is made by durable
piping.

Thanks for the replies.. for some reason this second one only just turned up
on my news server four days late!
Cheers for the pic, I guess maybe it might be worth getting that PET
software on CD - looks pretty useful. I'll look out for the ducting... I
suppose it can't be that necessary - am I risking my alternator overheating?
Chris.
