Where should the hose that leads from the side (cooling duct) of the car above the battery be pointing. While messing about with the battery I noticed it's curled up and touching the belt on the side of the engine which can't be right.

Doesnt really matter as its well documented that no forced air passes through these when the clam is standard anyway.

I was going to say something like "it's irrelevant where they point anyway" but didn't want to seem like a pedant hehe
