Any Idea if This is Normal?

Post by Ocean14 »

Hello everyone,I was hoping to get some input as I'm pretty excited since this may be the Vibe I will be getting:)The car had been in a previous accident (clean title), reported as minor front-end. The attached picture is of the engine bay and the piece I'm wondering about is the piece coming off the frame that looks like a plastic tube-like piece that doesn't connect to anything. Does anyone know what this is? I apologize that the photo is rotated.

Without the picture, my immediate guess is the intake that leads to the airbox. Is it right behind the driver side headlight?Try to get that pic working so we can help. And welcome.

when you try to upload a picture, the screen says that the file size must be less than 2,000,000 bytes. It lies. It must be less than 1,000,000 bytes.
