small hole on RHS of airbox

Rafe Dent · May 27, 2011

Found a small (6-7mm?) neat round hole on right hand vertical side of airbox. Sort of in centre of where air filter sits (internally). It's empty and 'fluttering' on tick-over. Can't be right surely? Any thoughts? Thanks, R

Sounds like previous owner has fitted a synergy 2
The hole was probably for the air sensor on the synergy

Air sensor? What air sensor on synergy 2?

so basicallly, it's not meant to be there, OK will blank it off.

The hole in the end of the air filter housing was used on early Td4s to secure a clip that held a heater hose to the end of the housing.

oh, OK; but surely it's meant to be blanked off or something?

don't seem to be, they're all the same from what I find.

on my synergy 2 there is a seperate air temp sensor that goes into the air intake

i think this was later eliminated on later synergys
