This is what my air filter box looks like. Both screws are rusty. It's also missing a nut as you can see in the upper right corner of the air filter box.
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652568386 Is this bracket near the washer fluid cap damaged? Also what is this for? http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652568386 This relay is for the electric fan that was installed before I purchased this car. I would like to remove this and install it somewhere else. Any suggestion for the best place to mount this? http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652568558 This is a picture of the electric fan that was installed. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652568386 What is the part number for these headlight screw covers? I need to buy one. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652568386 These are missing nuts and what is the right one for? http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652568386 Which washer pump is for the headlights? http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652568386 |
Some heinous bodging has been going on there :tuttut:

I've shown repairing this in some of the WITW threads although I can't remember which ones. Basically grind it flat, drill it out, drill out the rivnut and replace it with a new one. Sometimes the rivnut is recoverable by grabbing the stump with vice grips, winding the stump of the screw down, cutting off the rusty stump underneath, and then winding it out again. A little heat on the rivnut can help, although obviously be aware of all the flammable and melty things in that area. Quote:

This panel cover has seen better days as all the screw holes are damaged.
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652624185 This panel cover is in better shape then the one above. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652624185 Close up of the only damage on it. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652624185 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652634081 Damage to this cover. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652634081 |

I took out my air filter box to check things over.
It looks like the washer fluid bottle is missing a mounting screw. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652648106 These mounting nuts at the bottom of the air filter box is rusty. Good news the nuts came off without anything breaking. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652648106 What is this inside my air filter box and what is it for? http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652648106 This wire is for the electric fan that was installed. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652648614 Apparently there is two relays for this fan? http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652648614 This is the switch for the electric fan to manually turn on or off the fan. I originally forgot to ask about this electric fan where is doesn't turn on automatically when the engine gets hot. Can this fan be setup to turn on/off automatically like the OEM fan that it replaced? http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652648614 This green wire is for the fan switch. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652648614 |
That's the SAI pump inside the air filter box. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_air_injection
MJ will no doubt be along soon to explain why you can probably get rid of it, though I think you're in the US so maybe have different constraints to us in the UK? |

I removed my front bumper and found some interesting stuff going on.
What is this connector for? http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652731883 Removed the black duct tape and see this connector is damaged. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652731883 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652731883 Outside air temp sensor damaged. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652731883 Air duct for the alternator missing pin? According to this link there is a pin for this duct that connects to the bumper? I didn't see a pin nor was it connected to the bumper. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652731911 The trim pieces for the radiator are damaged and missing screws. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652732047 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652732047 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652732047 Wires just hanging about. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1652732047 |
