Valves on bulkhead

Post by grasmere59 »

I have recently bought a 2003 53(dec) 110 executive estate,i sold my 2002 52 110 Rapier estate and was looking under both engine bays this morning comparing stuff and noticed my old Rapier has 3 valves of some description on the bulkhead behind the engine but my Exec has only 2,it seems it hasn't got the right hand one,what do they do? any ideas?

Why? As far as I remember it says mine's a Sanitary Towel on the paperwork.

Dunno, something about injecting more air into the system to further burn your valves. Mine doesn't have one either, a spot of good luck methinks.

Less valves is good, (mine's got 5 of the buggers). :roll:
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
