59ctd Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 What is the cylindrical thing right next to the oil dip stick? I apologize up front if this post is wonky.

Andy_Mac Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Secondary air pump. Just an electric fan/pump with a load of piping and other junk. Only ever runs for the first minute or so that the cars running then shuts off. So unless its faulty or you want the space for something else there's no real downside to keeping it. There's a thread for deleting it that shows the pump and all the other bits associated with it http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2007-2009-air-pump-delete-cel-codes-and-ecu-fix-140259.html 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
