Split hose

[pablo]

Hey all - was pottering around the engine bay last night and noticed that the crankcase breather pipe that feeds back into the intake was split. Its the U shaped pipe

Now 2 questions here:

1. How much would this impact performance?
2. Can I buy a replacement bit of hose or is it dealer only part?

Cheers

Mine split and I got a new one from the dealership. You will need new jubilee clips as the Audi ones are knackered once you take them off.
