Missing hose

[foxley]

My mechanic (deceased) removed a hose fron the engine bay and said I wouldn't miss it as it would make starting easier.
The hose was about 2.5 inch diameter or perhaps a bit bigger and made out of what looked like thin corregated foil material. I'm not sure where it came from or went to but I think it was to do with the air cleaner.
I can't find it in the Haynes manual or on the JK site.
Advice appreciated.

Have a look at the air-box. On the right hand side is the inlet. On my van, 2 ltr air-cooled, a pipe comes off this and goes into the space below the right hand air intake on the side of the van. I guess it does this so the engine is sucking in "cold dense" air rather than the hot air from directly above the engine.

If it was that, then your deceased mechanic was right ... you don't need it
