What is this part?

[WPBvw]

Its a 98 jetta with the 2.0
What are these tubes called? They split at the ends so I zip tied them, Im leaving on a trip and want to replace them but dont know what they are called. where would be the best place to get replacements? and I know its a long shot but would anyone have part#'s for this?







Thanks in advance for any help!

i would say it was the brake servo vacuum pipe, (these come complete with the valve in the middle) as they are just plastic & joints cannot be re-sealed successfully,


so its either a trip to the dealer (for a new one) or a trip to the breakers yard for a second hand replacement,

hope this helps

The larger tube without the valve is a vacuum line to your brake booster unit. The smaller tube is a return line and the valve in it is a backfire preventer.

Be sure to replace both before going on your trip. Lost of vacuum will adversily affect your braking capability.

Post what the dealer charged you for the parts if you get a minute.

I got a split tube in the rightmost circled spot in the top picture and fixed it with a piece of coolant hose similar to how that tube is attached to the plenum on the other end.
