Is that an aircon pipe? The steel one out of the rubber? Could it be dried in aircon gas?
Or else your car does coke through the grilles!!!
expensive habits
I think it is the aircon pipe I cant identify exactly were its coming from and the aircon wouldn't have been on lately
Its just bugging me id like to what it is and were its coming from
Is that a mark of a pipe wearing off your manifold or did you rub it with your finger, hard to tell from pics.
Are your washer jets leaking by any chance? Additives in the washer fluid go dry out white like that.
Thats a mark from the bottom plate (the heavy bit) of the cabin filter housing no leaks on jets that I could see john
Cabin filter was soaked that I removed last month and replaced I re-aligned all seals new one is still bone dry not sure if its related or not but theres no white powder in the cabin filter housing itself

Haha!
In that case maybe the rubbing is causing plastic dust... ?Originally Posted by Gar
Gar, it's rubbing off the underside of the pollen filter housing. Caused by the cover not being located properly in the little spuds that locates it in the intake manifold. See it all the time
Great stuff thanks gents it was wrecking my head
