Pipe Split Help

[Porkballs29]

Last month I cleaned my throttle body and gave the car a full service, Since then my mpg has dropped quite a lot, it normally sat around 28.9 with town driving and over the month has dropped to 23.6 which is not good. I have also been getting some fumes coming in to the cabin so I thought I'd investigate today. This is what I found

The pipe has split the fits into the Y piece. Luckily I can see the part number (06A103213AF) so I can obviously get it from the dealer but can you get a silicone replacement? I take it that its part number 2 in this drawing ?

Looks like a bit of a pig to replace so any help on a silicone replacement or handy tips for removal and refitting would be great.

Cheers

it's a very common pipe to split. you can replace with 19mm piping and a straight connector into part 11 above. It's quite fiddly and delicate so you would need flexible 19mm piping. to avoid issues with space you could go for fitting an oil catch can either?

The replacement pipe from Skoda is a silly price IIRC.

My mpg has dropped big time as well does this often cause mpg drop

The engine will be pulling in unmetered air which can cause all sorts of problems

I've ordered a replacement which should hopefully be here by Tuesday. I knew something wasn't right as this is the worst its ever been. Fingers crossed its not too much of a pig to fit.
