Hi all,
Been trying to fit an alarm to the car, a 1.7 Diesel (Start), but having major trouble on deciding where to put it.
Now, on the drivers side off the car just behind the headlamp is a large box with a hose which goes up to the air filter bit.
I basically took this box off to see if there was adequate space underneath it to fit the alarm. There isnt.
But what puzzled me was this box, which to me seems completely empty and hollow. I looked at the pipe to which the hose attaches to, and found out that the pipe comes straight out the other side. You can see right through it. This to me suggests that this box does completely nothing ! Though there is a very small hole within this pipe / tube thing.
Does anybody have any idea what this 'empty' box does, and would it be safe not to have it installed in the car ???
Or is it just there because the car likes to have redundant parts and would feel lonely without it......
Thanks !
Rich.
P.S. If photos r wanted let me know.
