Hi All,

New member with a quick question please - What is this part on the 1.5dci K9K J10 facelift (upper left hand side of engine bay)

Any idea why it would make a sound similar to morse code after a long drive? Is this normal?

Thanks so much for the reply. Any idea why there would be a "morse code" noise coming from it. Its recently had a full service - not sure if that could be related?

Why not go back to servicing dealer and get them to sort.

There may be a midget trapped inside.

Trapped air - give that rugby ball shaped thing in the top middle of your photo a few squeezes till it goes solid.

Strictly speaking according to the manual you are supposed to give that a few squeezes every time you fill up with fuel.
