Hi. I’ve just noticed a hissing sound coming from to the right side underneath the steering column. I checked it and it’s a small air hose which is releasing air in the footwell It seems to be going into the back of the cluster. I can’t found anywhere what this is. Any help would be great. Cheers Antonyo

Great cheers. So basically there couldn’t be a fault at the manifold end only the foot we’ll end.
thanks

Yep, it's the interior ambient temp sensor. It's oddly a part of the climate control system, has two little internal senders. You might have some A/C troubles if the sensor is absent or not working. Mine was broken when I got my 635CSi. I couldn't find a really decent pic, but there's this thread at BigCoupe for your viewing pleasure.
Does anyone have one of these they would sell me? I think mine is bad as I'm hearing air at idle from it, which of course was never the case previously.
I have one from a parts car, it was flooded...feel like taking a chance on it?
It's yours for shipping, like $5? Lowball me an offer and I'll send it along:

Being the Idiot that some owners here in the Northeast tend to be, I didn't see this till now and already bought one on Ebay at ten times the price of your generous offer - but thank you, it should be here by end of the week along with an inline restrictor.
I'm with you Jeff, us idiots have to stick together.
Hey...I resemble that remark!
