Air leak

[Phil_VRS]

Hi all

I had the engine managment light come on yesterday and straight away looked under the bonnet. There is a leak on one of the hoses which seems to head underneath the manifold and thins off at the end. Does anybody know what it`s purpose is? I`m certain the car isn`t pulling as hard as it normally would. With the car being used everyday and covering around 35,000 miles a year i always keep well on top of servicing and repairs so if anyone could help me out that would be great.

All the best

Phil.

Not this one is it?

They have a habit of breaking down and rotting, so the silicone one above is a good choice if its the one youre talking about.

Ive recently replaced this pipe and as said above it is a common one to go.

Thanks for the reply`s, and thanks for the ebay link i`ve got one snapped up straight away as it`s been running a bit crappy today.

Thanks
