A little help identifying a vacuum hose
DrDroopy:
Hi all, I'm having trouble identifying this vacuum hose highlighted with the red lines, I was wondering if anyone can help?
As you can see from the tape, I found a crack where the pipe connects to the nipple, while trying to find a part number of the pipe it started hissing, then popped off :grin:. One end goes off to the right side of the engine block, the other end goes off under the wiper/scuttle tray. I don't think it's the brake booster, so I'm a little at a loss as to what it is as I can't find a part number on the hose and I'm loathed to mess with it more incase it brakes off completely.
Thanks!

That is the brake vacuum pipe

Mine broke off, not sure for how long but never noticed anything. I had a misfire at the time because of a dead injector so could have hidden the symptoms. I just put a samco silicone vacuum hose on, cost about 8 quid or so. Been on over a year now with no issues. Not that there is anything wrong with the genuine part, just a nice easy cheap fix that worked great.

I think that's the other half of the pipe, as seen here;
This female end of the pipe is OK, it's the male hose that pushs into that end which is broken, maybe you can get both sections as one part?

Thats the one :D mine has cracked the same way, the last few wiggles finished it off. I don't have any silicone hose, but I don't mind fitting an OE part, I just need to find the correct part number.
