   saw this today on my mk2 VTS, no idea what it is, but its seems to have snapped off whatever its supposed to be connected to, it goes past timing belt cover then over under the ecu then into the wing,
   
   
   
   is it important?
   
   any help would be brill

   If its the same as a VTR it looks like the pipe which attaches to the inlet mani on like a T-piece with the oil breather from the rocker cover, I tihnk it joins the carbon cannister in the wing? I dunno about yours but mine idles funny with it unplugged iirc?

   Yerh that's a breather off the inlet mani that goes to the carbon canister in the arch.
   
   You haz a hole in your inlet now I'd imagine.

   i best have a look then, could i just bung the hole up if there is one? im guessing that because the plastic bracket bit has snapped, the other half will be in the hole still, but ill have a look
