    Can anyone tell me where this piece goes? (gen3)

    I recently overhauled the cylinder head and on assembly had this piece over. Looks like it might be some sort of electrical cable cover.
    Thanks.

    Looks like an AC line cover.

    No one has idea ? .. to me it looks like a line cover as a place where a bolt holds it on that V and then a line passes through the main part and that closure on top closes so it must be a line that needs to sometimes be opened like to me an air conditioning possibly power steering or something but in this vehicle the power steering wouldn't make sense Air conditioning possibly although I've not had a generation 3 new enough and good enough condition where all the pieces are on it.?? But that's what it looks like just by the casing and the picture.

    Yeah, I'll have a look around the A/C; thanks for that suggestion. I see you have a gen 2, mines a gen 3, a different beast.. Had an '08 gen 2 before this one and I must say the batteries are much better on the gen 3 and that extra 300cc makes a difference on the hills.

    In engine bay driver's side towards firewall.. Check your fuel line connection from fuel rail and fule line to you gas tank.. it's a coupler that secure the connection between the two..

    There you go I knew it held a line together fuel line makes perfect sense back there where I'd never see it.
