Hi

Can anyone please tell me what is missing on that picture? It's 1.4 TSI 160 DSG, part of intake manifold, behind the engine. I checked few photos on google and it all have some pipe attached there. And this one's gone missing. I think I will check how it works with duct tape ;)

Its the vacuum pipe which feeds the brake servo, so your brakes must have a pretty heavy pedal action. It also routes down below into the Supercharger.

Looking at the picture you have put up, it looks like the rubber pipe is disconnected and tucked under the engine air intake duct in the left side of the red circle. Just needs reconnecting??

You're right, it was disconnected. I wonder what else is... Thank you, now brakes feel much softer :)
