    parts help needed - air intake


    not being great on the modern cars (im getting old ;-) ))

    i thought i would see if anyone can tell what these parts are and what they
    are for.
    i have uploaded 2 pictures to
    http://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u257/banjo_14/

    there are 2 pictures of the same, its just that the small one is 577kb in
    size and the other is 4.5mb in size,
    so you can choise which one to look at.

    i have numbered the parts 1 and 2 on black arrows,

    Dunno about #2 but I reckon #1 is the intake air temperature sensor.

  4. Part number 1 is the intake air temperature sensor. Its description tells
    you pretty much what it does! ;-)

    Part number 2 looks to be the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve. Its
    job is to allow a controlled amount of the exhaust gas back into the intake
    side of the engine, which helps to reduce the oxides of nitrogen in the
    exhaust gas.
