Cable broken around radiator - what's its function?
Hi,
(Volvo v40 2003 1.6i petrol manual) When trying to do something I broke a tube around the radiator - see attached photos. What's its function? Is it the "charge air pipe" that leads to the "pressure sensor" (right side of cable connects to item with code Pierburg PA6-GF30) Would I be able to drive it to the local garage as is? I'd planned to drive to airport tomorrow. Can i tape it up and drive the car? or is it not recommended. Anyone got a part number in case i have to get a new one. Is this something a novice could replace? On the right side the tube seems to push into the sensor, I can't see where it goes to at the broken end. Thanks Donal.

I've got the 1.6 myself too & had never noticed that until you posted today.
I'd guess it's a way of sending a temperature signal, but it does seem odd; why not just an electrical signal? From what you describe, if you run the engine there's no water coming out? I'd have thought not if the pipe's just a push-fit. Perhaps you can put some tape around it to hold it in place, rather like a sleeve over it, until you can replace it.

@Clan - thanks.
Can I still drive the car i.e. a short distance? I'm assuming it's push-fit both ends?

should be ok for short journey but you can block off the stub on the engine to make it run properly whilst you get a new hose .It will be sucking in unwanted air otherwise
