Need help on where this hose and connector go to

[Crossy]

Hi guys, looking for some help here as im pretty clueless when it comes to mechanics.

I have a 2006 56 plate 1.9 diesel Berlingo which I've recently bought. The van idles at about 600 and runs rough for a couple of minutes from cold and then clears. I've had a quick look and noticed two things

1. Their is an air hose which is connected at one end and not the other as pictured below -

It comes from here -

2. I have also noticed the plug pictured below is hanging free and not connected to anything and cant see anywhere for it to plug into.

If anyone can point me in the right direction as to where the hose and connector are meant to go that would be great. Pulling my hair out looking here

Hi,It looks to me as though a previous owner has disabled the EGR valve.This is a common thing to do.Leave as is.

Ok, so both the above air hose and connector relate to the egr valve ? This wouldnt cause the van to run rough when its first started from cold would it ?

Cheers

I have seen no complaints of bad running.Make sure it's not only disconnected but blocked off as well.

If you disconnect it on a Siemens HDi or a post 2004 Bosch HDi it'll complain a lot. Siemens will throw on the EML and go into limp mode, Bosch will run ok but put the EML on

It's a 1.9 not HDi.
