Any VAG specialists? 1.8T
Hello, need some help.
Seems this pipe has split I'm just wondering what it is. It looks like it might be a vacuum pipe for the brakes or something. Any ideas?
Could this be why the management light is on?
Cheers.
[The pipe with the black tape around it that runs directly along side the inlet manifold]

I don't think it's too big for vac pipe, same size roughly as the one on the Fiesta...

Vacuum pipe, without going outside to look at mine, goes to the N75 valve and servo

If it's a breather pipe it's breathing bloody heavy.
What is the N75 valve Zo?

N75 is basically an actuator, regulating boost

I see - so if the pipe is split wonder what that could do.
It is slow as fuck. But I think thats the auto box killing it.
