Identity of component on engine.


Recommended Posts

Hi folks, 

I recently changed a pipe manifold for the auto box oil cooling and unwittingly had accidentally disconnected a small rubber pipe on a solenoid valve attached to a cylindrical component on the bottom of the engine at the front on the nearside ( as per the pics ). This LED to a ticking noise when the engine was running. I have now put the pipe back on and all is ok but I am curious as to what the component is. Any ideas please?

Appears to be part of the vacuum switching system, the ticking noise was probably the valve operating but not finding a vacuum when it should have been present.

Yes thanks Steve, that looks like the offending article with the little solenoid valve beside it. That identifies it but the question now is what exactly does the vacuum switching system do?
