Grande Punto Mystery pipe on my punto! Please help!!!###

[Machiberg]

Hi all.

I've not long bought a fiat punto grande 1.2. 07 plate and I've had a few problems. They're sorted but I've been told to replace a couple of pipes most I've found really easily but one has me stuck as I think it might be a bridge job from the previous owner??

Please help I'm desperate....

Hi,
the "gunk" is a mix of oil and water / condensation,
best to remove it and clean it out

look at the FAQ's at top of GP section..,

Thanks Charlie I will do that. But what pipe is it? Or has it been bodged?

Don't take this as any useful message, I'm just a bit stuck myself ... If I understand correctly, "the magical pipe" is laying on the throttle in the picture. On top of the throttle, there should be some sort of connection to the air filter box ... Either a pipe or the box itself should be sitting on top of that.
If there is a pipe, how do those 2 mate (throttle & airbox)? The only pipe that is connected to the airbox is usually the PCV, could it somehow be that one? Where does the other end go?

As said, don't take it as any advice or anything ... just trying to understand ...

That might just be it! Looked it up online and it looks very similar. The cars at home so I will look when I get home but it's the closest ive come so far!!

Thanks

Warmly welcome. If it is that one, it should be connected to the airbox (look underneath for a sticking out piece of plastic connector). At least this is how it is done on 8v. Good luck!

Looks like its been bodged after the spigots broke off the air box. The air box of yours also looks broken on the back clip which holds it down.....
