Snapped connecting pipe - what's if for?

[russwuss]

^ as title really, this snapped when I was tidying the hoses up on my TIP, I've managed to push the silicone hose inside the hose on the TIP and the car runs... Should I be worried?

Thanks!

its part of the EVAP pipe that goes into the TIP... if left disconnected it typically throws an N80 incorrect flow fault code..

Thanks a lot Tuffty! It's sort of connected.. No management light yet but ill scan it with Vagcom when I get home.

unmetered air into tip if not sealed
not a major pipe failure

Yeah it's sort of sealed... Is it best to block it off you think on the tip until I can source a new pipe? Luckily the part no. Is on there .

dont block it off.. tape it up until you get it replaced
