I assume wind screen, or shield as in amerika.

My guess is the vacuum line on the back of the intake but it's just a guess with little to no info.


And I'd like a picture of a right hand drive vette

hi guys
my C6 zee 06 is in the process of being sorted as it was doing what the c5 is doing only blowing on the screen, i know the c6 is a totally different set up , does this mean the c5 is vacuum controlled.
will get some pic's of my right hand drive vettes.

Def look for that vacuum hose off at back of intake. The mode door uses engine vacuum to open and close. Very common.

thanks for your help guys, it seems that i am plagued by air cond problems, but that is all forgotten when on the road, nothing beats the feeling of driving a Vette.
