Hi corsa is a 1.6 sport and has a mantzel inlet, i have noticed this hose end plugged up and another one with nothing connected and from pics of another corsa have found a green hose/wire that is connected here,

do i need this for my 1.6 or is it supposed to be plugged up maybe because of the mantzel inlet? and if so is the other part ok like it is or should that be plugged too?

AND also i need to refill my coolant after being drained but i dont have a bleed valve on the thermostat housing like it says to undo in the manual do i need to do sometihng different?

cheers


looking up from below engine

from above

green one in other car

connects to same hose that is loose in other one

think it goes into the original inlet manifold mate and is not needed for the aftermarket one. hence why it's been blanked off.

and what about filling coolant seems like an old thermostat in the pic with a bleed valve on the housing mine doesn't have it is it somewhere else?

looks fine to me m8 i'd leave it how it is now you shouldn't need to block the other end but try it and see if the car warms up better from cold
