Air intake shut off valve/anti shudder valve

[Corribee]

Hi Guys,

Apologies in advance for the explanation of what I need, I am a blonde female but will do my best. Plus I cannot seem to load a photo to make it easier, but I have tried and its that bit right at the bottom/middle of the ebay photo, the pipe with the jubilee clip on is the 2.5 inch dia pipe hahaha.

I have a V50 2.0 diesel 58 plate. At the front of the engine in the middle is a large pipe, about 2.5 inches in dia.

When the pipe is removed you can see a valve which kept getting stuck to the sides with muck, so I took the small pipe off from the thingy next to it and blocked it off with a screw.

It has been fine for some months but I am concerned that this will eventually cause more problems being disconnected and blanked off. I want to buy a new part, the bit with the value in it but do not know what it is called. The title of the post is just a guess.

Any ideas please

Thank you very much, will it cause any problems in the long run to keep it blanked off

yes it will ,
It is a safety device , If the engine starts running on it's own oil in the sump it will go to maximum revs and destroy the engine . When you turn the ignition off the flap shuts and stops all air getting to the engine if this happens and stops the engine , An unlikely event but it is possible . also every time you turn off the engine it will shake the flywheel and clutch hard which won't do it any good long term . with the throttle working properly when you turn the engine off it stops softly ..

Still not got this fixed, but have a photo, it’s the metal part at end of large pipe with the flap in I need to know the name of, it’s in dispute lol
