Hey guys, I am new here and I apologise in advance if this is not the thread for questions. I will be cleaning up the engine bay of my newly acquired V40 1.9 so there will be progress tax posted in this thread later.
I will be cleaning the EGR in the next few days and I am not sure what the black cylinder behind it is? Can you help a newbie out? Thanks tons |

Searched for an exhaust rattle which ended up being a tired and worn out hangar, £3.07 From the local motorfactors.
Replaced a power steering rack gator as the old one had worn through. About £12 For two from the lo al motorfactors again. Just need to tidy up the brake lines and she's in for her mot!

Had the high pressure fuel pump changed today. Bit of a job as on a GDI the manifold has to come off. Just wait and see now. Tried to recreate the 4000 rpm stutter and so far so good, so it might have been low fuel pressure.

Now I've re assembled the rear due to epic stupidity (as you may have seen in the other thread, I didn't swap the plastic sleeve with the big washer on and the bump stop from the old shocks onto the new shocks) and after leaving my mig welder in the boot for a week it's come down a bit
