    The white plastic bung thing that is on small black pipe at the back of the egr.
    I will try and try a photo but maybe some will know what it is and what it is for. Mine is missing.
    I might put a small bolt or something in but would rather have the proper thing.

    What year?

    for maybe 2010~2011 only that’s likely the engine coolant air vent. Commencing 2012 they nixed the vent function, mod’d that junction, kept mostly the same (it still serves as a junction) but it’s no longer a vent, white cap is gone. You used to unscrew that cap, allowed air to escape during coolant fill.

    12 it is a bleed screw as they call it here. I put a small bolt in it so there is something.
