In the boot or inside the front cover of the service book is a stiker with a 6 digit sale model on, if you can post that i can identify the car 100% and locate it for you

Vehicle data stickerThe vehicle data sticker can be found in the customer's Service Schedule, and also on the vehicle in the spare wheel well or on the floor panel.

i have tryed to upload you some photos but it wont let me i have looked every were from the beging of the intercooler followed it all the way to the turbo and there is nothing also that last picture you sent me is from ekta but there is to many bend in the ally pipe mine comes up from the intercooler then goes straight to the back to the turbo .
could you tell me what 6a is because that is'nt there either
thank so much for trying to help
Liteace

Try going the other way
Air filter > turbo > charge cooler > intake manifold
its going to be between the charge cooler and the intake manifold, with the part number, engine code & vehicle ID number Im getting the same on ETKA

all i can say is were the black pipe that leads to the front of the engine follow it back down to the bottom near the intercooler itself and the little bugger is there . not sure yet if its solved my problem will have to wait till i go on the motorway

So is it underneath where Elsawin said it was or in a completely different area ???????
evelyn2008

no totally different area the only way to get to it would be under the car under the air con pump .
