hopfully some 07 owners can help here...

check out the black circle around the first picture(not sure what year S that is)...



ok now here is my 07 with a similar pic...where the the circled piece?




should it just be open like this...should i worry..

 

The first pic looks like it is from a 2004-2005 AP2.

2006-up have revised components, such as the intake manifold etc. (I've had one of each)

Yeah, the 06+ have a few revised things, with the emissions and it also has a no-return fuel system.

 

no your not missing anything! I was just removing the CDV on Sat. and your fine as the first pic is that of a ver1 ap2 (i.e. 2004-2005)

 

whats BIGFOOT doing touching your car?

hairy ass arms bro

 

Si es correcto, you are not missing anything. They just cleaned up the engine bay for us after 06

You'll notice many other things "missing" as well.

 

found that pic online lol.

thank guys for the replies. I still think it's a bit strange that it's left wide open like that. you would think they would cover it up with something.

 

The first pic is an AP1 - black spark plug cover. AP2s are gold.

 

Since the DBW car's don't have an airpump they don't need the control valve for it.
