Hi
ive just changed my air filter on my Nissan micra K12 and noticed on the back of the air intake pipe There is a hole, should there be anything attached to this, what’s it for?
thanks

It's ment to be that way.
Looks like it's to help with cold morning's. So the intake can bring in a little warmer air.
I have blocked this off before when it's warmer.
Usually my intake pipe gets loose and I would say that can be similar it brings the car upto operating temp slightly quicker.
