Small Intake

Chocko Mocko · 06-07-2018, 01:35 PM

Hi - does anyone know what the small intake is next to the brake-fluid reservoir? Has a removable "cage" cover. Thank you.

Interesting. Is the object you're talking about in either of these images.

Convertable?? (found on Google) Do convertibles have a different config under the hood?

Coupe (also google):

Probably the drain. Should be one on each side. They're the only thing I can think of with a removable "cage".

Exactly ^
took me a while to figure out what they were talking about

Yeah it's a drain for rain water. The grate is just to keep larger leaves/etc. out

WDE82 · 06-08-2018, 11:25 AM

Yeah that must be it. Good call

Glad someone figured out that OP was looking at the drains. My brain was getting ready to explode, like, this guy got some sort of custom shit in his engine bay and doesn't know it?

There are one on each side, mine are always full of leaves.
