Anyone get a spare vacuum hose?

[Rybky]

While diagnosing my poorly Bora this evening I discovered a very broken vacuum hose:



Would anyone have a spare one of these laying around they don't need anymore? Preferably in better conidition than the one above!!

Or, where can I get one quickly?

I have taped it up with electrical tape for now but I don't think that helps much.

Stopped in to Bill Buckle VW parts dept this morning on my way to work and picked up a new one, my wallet is now $127 lighter but at least I have the right part and I have it now.

Even with just that pipe taped up the car is running much better, pickup is smooth now. Will fit the new pipe this evening and reset all the codes and see how it goes.

I for one am curious to hear how you go once the pipe is fitted and codes clear.
My wife's car has a smaller split in the same pipe!

New pipe fitted and all fault codes reset, will test it again in a few days to see if any errors are still being reported.

There were no errors reported today, it was still clear from the reset yesterday evening, maybe taping up the pipe helped, it was certainly running better.

Today was the first long run since fitting the new breather pipe and the car is definitely running much better, pickup is now really smooth, the cough has gone.

Idle feels slightly better as well, although I think there is still an issue there, it feels worse when I stop facing up hill so wondering if it might be an engine mount problem.
