Does anyone have a picture of their air filter in situ' and where the pipes come from/go to. I have a 1.9 water cooled '88 with a square filter box. There are two tubes coming off in with no pipes connected. To the right, behind the light cluster, are three other tubes, again without anything connected. I need a picture to show me what connects to what. Tried various manuals but no joy.
Thanx.

have you got a picture to show us your problem?

speaks a thousand words..


from my air filter (square)

intake to carb
two vacuum pipes
intake to filter
pipe to the exhaust (warm air for cold start)

Hope this works, If it does it was quite easy, thanks.
As you can see (hopefully) I have 2 large holes on the air filter part and 3 large ones behind the light cluster. Any ideas.

IIRC 1988 should have a "round" air filter and housing.. so thats an early filter box.. so the pipework is different... rather than bodge it together it might just be easier to pick up a late arfilter housing...

Thanks for the advice. Makes sense to me.
Further investigation around this web site had led me to find discussions between people who have changed from the later housing to the earlier out of choice. Can anyone shed some light on this as to why you would want to. As I have the earlier one fitted, and if others have had no problems, could someone post a picture of how they connected up the pipes, it would be cheaper and easier than replacing it.
