Identify this S3 Hose ??

Post by jim_s3 » Tue Jun 14, 2005 9:00 pm

Hi,

New to the forum, but been a watcher for a while ! Hopefully someone here can help me...as I'm a car amateur mechanic amateur. The hose being pointed at in the attached picture is split, can anyone tell me what it is and its purpose ? I've recently had a new MAF because the car seemed underpowered. New MAF and the car felt like brand new. A couple of weeks on and the car seems to have lost boost again - is it related to this hose? I know the hose needs replacing whatever it is but im itching to know if its related to my power loss !! ??

Thanks !

Jim

Been to the garage with the hose.... its turbo related. Parts on order, so should cure the power problem !
