Disconnected pipes

Can anyone enlighten me as to what these pipes used to be connected to ?
Passenger side of my TD5 engine bay

And while we're in mystery solving mode, what about these two thin plastic pipes (wire ? ) on the drivers side ?

They seem to connect to this device on the inner wing ( drivers side )

top two air con compressor i would say look like compressor has been re moved !

bottom two EGR vacuum pipe work and EGR control sol on driver side wing EGR has also been removed

i believe previous owner of your 110 had intercooler upgrade and probably remove condenser rad and compressor to fit the up grade parts

The EGR pipes are just vacuum, you can take them out and plug the inlet on the solenoid. That was prettu shoddy workmanship. If you are going to remove a component, like the EGR remove it. The AC compressor has been removed but the pipework is very hrad and cumbersome to take out.

You put a plug on the solenoid like this.

Your EGR removal pipe should look like is. No hoses or wires dangling about.

That blue hose has been removed BTW

If the compressor is the only component missing from the AC you likely just need to replace it and charge the system..

This is true as long as there's no leaks anywhere.

I binned the A/C in mine. Frees up loads of passenger leg room (we don't require it much in Wales either

)
