hi guys i seem to have a small vac/ air leak coming from the pipe circled in the pic below, i take it this is not normal?

What is this pipes function and how do i remove it as it has no visable clips or clamps holding it on

if it helps anyone in the future, ive just had a good hour googling and its a pipe connected to the vac pump and just pulls off,

Was there any noticeable symptoms of the vac leak? Did you notice any difference in your brakes after fixing it?

it was only a very slight vac leak which could only just be heard (i have no engine cover fitted), and ive not driven the car much since but will report back when i do over the weekend

I had to replace this pipe on my car a few weeks back. It had started to perish and split in quite a few places. Its only around £25 ish.

have you got a part number please Alex? the pipe seems ok on mine its just the rubber was a bit squashed where it joins to the vac pump, so ive turned it and it seems to have stopped for now.

but for the sake of £25 ill put a new 1 on

That pipe is the vacuum supply fitted to the servo from the cylinder head, they have a bad tendancy to crack due to the temperatures of some of the components round it!!
