Clutch pedal rubber stopper?
Below the passenger side of the engine bay??Clutch pedal rubber stopper?
The white thing looks like a vacuum line barb of some sort...Okay, here's mine....It may not really count because it didn't come from the Lotus, but oh well.
I was replacing the two side mount intercoolers in my previous Audi TT with an aftermarket front mount intercooler. I took the passenger side intercooler off and heard a rattling coming from the intercooler. I shook it out and what you see is what came out (including the penny).....
This absolutely baffled me. I ruled out these items getting past the airfilter because the turbocharger was between the filter and the first intercooler. I'm just lucky none of these parts made it into the engine. The only thing I can think of (especially since it is an American penny and not a Euro cent) is that a couple years prior, the turbocharger had died, and it was replaced under warranty, and this is when that debris got in there....but a penny?!?
Too small for that I think... my guess is some sort of drain plug. I know the starter has a plug of some sort, I'll have to peek at that.Clutch pedal rubber stopper?
Caliper bleed screw rubber cap?RULES: post your mystery part by titling "Episode I, II, III, IV," etc... with a brief description of your Lotus car part, where/how you found it, and a photo.
Episode I:
Name the mystery part. Hint: appeared somewhat unexpectedly below the passenger's - side of the engine bay. All lower panels were removed at the time. Rubber w/ paint marker (?), um, markings. :shrug:
That sounds like a good guess... I'll check...Caliper bleed screw rubber cap?
I suppose this is in line with Chapman's statement: "Any car which holds together for more than a race is too heavy."well, one day it appeared in the left most vent.
like the rest of the car... just was falling to pieces...:wallbang::shrug:
took a day of auto xing before it came flying out
It's bleeder cap for the clutch slave cylinder.RULES: post your mystery part by titling "Episode I, II, III, IV," etc... with a brief description of your Lotus car part, where/how you found it, and a photo.
