What is this?

Hello,

I opened the engine compartment (side and top) to check the polyrib belt (it looks good, but I think I'll replace it anyway since I am over 60K). While looking around I noticed a cap, in the engine compartment, on top, kind of behind the driver's seat that has a loose hose. On top of this cap it says something about "Hydraulic only" - the picture I took didn't come out right and I can't remember exactly what is says on it.

What is this hose and is it OK to stay open like that? Does it need to be plugged anywhere?

Also while I was in there I noticed that the insulation was ripped and it was actually touching the belt... I ripped the broken parts out - I figured it's better to be without than to touch the belt. Is there anyway I can replace that insulation?

Thanks,

azzar0.

Power steering pump/supply (use on Pentosin per your Owners Manual). The tube is just a vent - it does go nowhere.

Vent hose is: 986.314.545.00 Hose -- US MSRP $11.14

If you need the clip it is: 999.512.527.00 Clip -- US MSRP $2.02

I'm sure Sunset has better prices since you are already placing an order with them.

Whew, that's a relief!

What about the insulation? Should I worry about replacing it or just leave it out?

What is the clip you mentioned for?

I apologize for all the questions, I am still on a stiff learning curve here...

Thanks,
