1998 V70 pipe from air filter box broken off, advice needed.
Can someone advise what this little plastic pipe, thats broken off, is for? Car starts and runs okay, is it okay to drive it until repaired?

Hi
AFAIK it operates the diverter flap in the air filter box, to take warm air in via the silver hose from near the exhaust manifold, to help the car warm up. Until you get a replacement bit of hose, just block it so that you don't introduce a vacuum leak. HTH Steve
