Hi all, very new to the world of suzuki's and wanted to know what this hose on my 1.3 does? I mean I know it's for adding warm air into the intake but is it necessary? I live in grafton nsw and it doesn't get very cold here at all maybe down to 1-2 degrees early morning in the middle of winter, the pipe needs replacing but I'll block it off if it's not required.
Cheers wilso

its nessessary for emmisions and legality but generally doesnt make any difference to the running of the car

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll source a new hose for now. Can having this connected create over heating problems in the summer months?

[tanshi]

no, there should be a valve that turns it off when the engine is up to temp i think.

No worries thanks heaps

I have fitted a snorkel to my zook and have now lost the airbox side connection of this pipe due to the snorkel fitting. So I was wondering if the open exhaust side where this pipe attaches will affect the purpose of the snorkel? Don't think it would but should I be blocking it up some how anyway until I get extractors?

Not exactly on topic but I though I should just ask here as it's based around the same thing.
Thanks guys
