Hornblower Member 50 Member For: 22y 3m 9d Location: Spit Junction NSW Posted 30/12/20 06:21 AM Share Posted 30/12/20 06:21 AM (edited) Hi folks, Just popped the bonnet on my 2003 BA XR6T and noticed this small line from the engine to the turbo lines has melted where it attaches to the engine nipple. I'm guessing it's a sensor line or a breather of some type? Could someone please ID it for me so I can order a replacement online thanks? Have taped it up for the time being, I guess it would not like having a big hole in it lol. Why would it have melted like that? Cheers for any help.
