What is this metal tube? I assume its part of the EGR / emissions system for a 1.8 and it allows gasses / vapors to flow back into the intake system. On my 1975 1.8 I do not have this metal tube, my car has this replicated via a series of rubber hoses and plastic connectors. Im wondering if a previous owner lost ir and recreated this part with the hoses/plastic connectors?
My car is a 1975, but it is not a smog system car. Should my car have this tube?   Thank you, Ted |
