Broken hose
« on: 12 February 2010, 11:07 »
Hi all

2 questions...

1. My car has a broken hose which connects to the side of the airbox and runs up to the top of the throttble body. Its corroded badly and just snapped when i touched it! My question is what does this hose do? and does anyone know what its called so i can try and find a part no and get a new one? It's a thin one, only about 4mm in diameter. I'm guessing it will affect the running of the car slightly and may be the cause of the lumpy idle. Car is a 16v by the way.

2. I need new tow eye covers as mine are cracked and look pants. Are the tow eye covers on MK3's all the same or did the GTI have slightly different ones?

thanks in advance for you help.  :smiley:
