What is this part?

Car: 07 LGT 5MT

 

Found this plastic disk in-line on the BOV, in the bypass line. It almost looks like a restrictor of some sort? When I first got the car, the tubing was relatively loose, so I zip-tied the ends, but didn't notice that it was different.

 

The same line from my 05 doesn't have it, and I can't seem to find any pictures or info about it here or online - haven't seen it on any other car.

 

I have the lines (and the BOV) from the 05, so if I don't find anything about it, I'll just remove it and replace the line if necessary, but I'm curious if it has a purpose.

Just looks like a coupler to me, cause someone cut the line too short. Maybe they had a tee there before, for the FPR reference.

Check valve of some sort?

Good thought. Could check by blowing into either end of it. No clue why someone would put one on the BPV reference line though

I thought of this too, and it passes air in both directions - and agreed, why there?

 

I’m thinking “hose too short, slap on a connector” makes the most sense, the engine is otherwise stock.

I'm going with connector as well. Here's what mine looks like. 08 OBXT 5mt stock. Looks like they cut the line too short for sure.
