What is this... vacuum hose or something

[reflexx]

It looks like it should be on here... (diverter valve?)



Why would it be blocked up with a rivet?

Any ideas?

Which engne is that? Is the hose at the front or back?

It's probably from the EGR, that's why it's blocked, but a better description would help us answer your question.

This is at the back right of a 3.0 (thought I'd filled out my profile sorry)

The hose is one of two that come out of a metal housing attached to the right of the engine. I can get some more pics if it would help. I thought it would be an readily recognised part

Flying saucer shaped at the back sounds like the egr valve which has been blocked off. Even I managed to do that!

Yep turns out this is the egr valve. Hadn't even heard of it until now. Guess I'll leave it as it is then!

Thanks

Matt
