That's an oil accumulator. They push some oil through before start-up so that you're not starting the engine "dry" so less wear on the internals etc. i think!

Sort of - the main use is to protect against oil surge under high g loadings and maintain oil feed.

spot on guys.

it can be used when starting the car-so basically no internals wear.

but i only use it for the track - prevents oil starvation. also have a baffled sump to aid this.

Interesting. How much did this little gizmo set you back if you don't mind my asking?

tbh the suspension was done when i got it - some uprated blue coloured gaz shocks, dont thinkits coil overs- and a fully refurbished rear beam.

gti6 brakes,uprated discs and pads- braided lines-there are just 1st class - no fade at all,even after 5 -6 laps.

Very nice car, i presume you haven't had it long? I was looking at it myself when it was for sale, despite already having a few!! Looked like great VFM.
