I just recently got some major surgery on my car(had head replaced) and the dealership I went to doesnt have alot of experience with cobalts. They are cool as hell though, and the car seems solid since I've gotten it back, but I noticed that there is a hose that is in a different place than i'm used to. Normally I think it runs behind the fuel rail, but now its on the supercharger. heres a pic:




So what does this tube do? Can I unplug it and replug it back in behind the fuel rail, or is it a coolant hose in which **** would spray everywhere? My concern is that the tube will melt when the s/c gets hot..

Any help is greatly appreciated

 

get a wider view pic.

 

It's just vacuum, you can tuck it wherever you want. That's where it is on mine, just pushed under that cover so it's out of sight.

 

its your vacumn line it dosent bother anything it just looks a tad bit tacky imo just tuck it

 

Cool, I guess I can just replug it so it runs under fuel rail. I had to scale the picture down to load it, but if its a vacuum hose then its all good anyways. Thanks guys

 

All you have to do is take the black plastic cover off and put it underneath it real quick. Two 10mm bolts and BAM she's tucked neatly away.

 

Damn, the screws for the fuel rail cover are stripped, so i cant take it off. So is it ok to unplug this hose, move it back to normal, then plug it back in?

 

If you can reach the hose without breaking anyhting then yes. Also, go the the stealership and demand a new valvecover since they stripped out the bolts! That's some bullshit if they stripped them out!
