Or is it that black box labeled 3?

I'm going to go with ECU or fuse box.

blackcorvette06

Yeah your right. It will probably be in the trunk somewhere. I think the c6 z06 has it back there..

LS1LT1

I too think that there is a good chance that the battery will be mounted in a compartment in the back of the cargo area.




Yes, it does.

Is #2 the coolant or something? It's so far back in the engine bay it'd be hard to imagine.

I definitely don't think that #4 is the battery because I see no other location that looks like the fuse cover. Considering how many more computers and electronics are going into the C7, a fuse box that size would make a lot of sense.


Edit:

Never mind. I see that there is a line going from #2 to the radiator. It's definitely the coolant reservoir. Interesting putting it that far back.

LS1LT1

Hmm, are you sure that #9 isn't the coolant reservoir (as the C5s and C6s have it on the driver's side as well) and that #2 might actually be the filler cap for the dry sump oiling system (on models so equipped at least)?
Not sure.

SCM_Crash

#9 is the brake fluid reservoir. You can see it's attached to the brake booster and it's also where all the brake fluid reservoirs have always been. The coolant reservoir on my C5 is on the passenger side, not the driver's side. #9 would be too small for the coolant anyway.

The fact that I see no dipstick on or around the intake manifold tells me that #9 is going to be dry sump related. It's in the exact same spot as the dry sump tank on Z06's

Weird that it looks so "wide" - I thought the taller and more narrow you could get your sump tank the better.

Looks to me that
2 = oil fill
8 = oil dip stick
9 = brake booster
10 = clutch
11 = washer fluid
5 = according to that corvetteonline article says is the airbox

I'm curious about 1,3,4,.... the 3 appears to be the fuse box, but what is 4?

1 is WAYYY up there.

14 more days.....

1 = access to cabin air filter

AverageVetteNut

ohhhhhh , ok... that makes sense

The battery will go under the back seat, like the old VW Beetles!

OK, yeah I am guessing it's a rear-mounted battery.

BlueOx

This.
1-Cabin filter
2-Coolant filler cap
3-?
4-Fuse box
5-Air filter
6-Hood vent 'funnel'
7-Oil filler cap
8-Dipstick
9-Brake fluid
10-Clutch fluid
11-Washer fluid

I have to say this air filter box (if that is what it is) seems like a real convoluted air path.

AverageVetteNut

I saw 7 there and took a few looks to see that it was a cap. At first it just looked like a black rectangle.
Interesting.

If you look at the air filter housing, you can see that it is a true "cold" air system as it appears to get it's air from outside the engine compartment.

C7 runs without battery.

To add more fun... It will be behind the "back seat"

JoesC5

The engine compartment looks to be pretty full. I wonder where the dry sump oil reservoir is going to be located?

Larry/car

You plug in external power to start the engine, no need for a battery tender.

Solar panels on rear hatch..
