RE: 88 5KTQ 'accordian' -- WTF?

[glen <gpowell@acacianet.com>]

Nope, not the alternator cooling hose. My fault, I should have thought to mention that it's not this one. This accordian thang is like ~12" wide and like ~6" high, is black and is mounted between the rear of the front bumper and the front of the chassis on the driver's side on US models.

<<File: ATT00001.html>>On my '93 90S there is a black plastic accordian tube that extends from the
front bumper and directs cool air directly onto the alternator. I've seen this
setup on another car at some point in my life, but I can't remember what it
was, maybe a BMW. This might be what you are seeing, except someone
might have butchered it at some point, so it's not all there.
