sa utah Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 As I’m spending many hours at home now I decided to have another clean out around the battery area. I’ve discovered a pipe that looks like a washer pipe but isn’t. It’s just sort of floating around. And ideas what this should be connected to ? It disappears off to the drivers side of the car with some aircon stuff https://photos.app.goo.gl/QTfw8eu9GLjyL3V9A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.I.T.T. Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 This is the battery vent pipe. Picture of it connected to the battery vent port on my car on the left of the battery - perhaps the pipes are on the other side on LHD cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.I.T.T. Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 EDIT: Noticed this was the 987 forum - perhaps the pipe is on that side on all 987s. Are you in the States @sa utah , or did I just make that up?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveEFI Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Battery vent pipe - to take acidic fumes clear of the body. Not all batteries have this - but OEM should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgk188 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Here you go - been and taken a pic for you as there not much going on in sunny Bedfordshire this afternoon, from memory I think I had to remove a small little blanking plug on the Duracell battery to allow me to connect the vent hose: - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa utah Posted March 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Very good indeed. I’ll have a look later to see if there’s a suitable hole / plugged up hole on mine. stay safe guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
