A/c maybe? (It's a bit hard to tell without seeing more of the area).

It'd help if you post model, engine, year and so on so somebody with a similar car can advise.

Turn off the free advertising.

It looks a bit big for a/c to me, although looking in Service Box there's two freon tubes (if I have the right diagram) side by side there, and one's big & one's small (flow & return?) Has the car got a/c and does it work?

Just had a look on mine, which is a HDI 110, so will probably be different and the only remotely similar pipes are for the power steering. So I'm wondering if it's had a leak and someone has ''adapted'' it?
Does anything like A/C or the power steering not work?
