Hose in engine bay disconnected

[madglf3]

Hey guys,

today I decided to clean the engine bay of my Golf (2.0 Sport) and took the engine cover off to discover this little hose not connected to anything yet it has a little clamp on the end of it.






Does anyone know what this hose (circled in red) does and where it connects?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt.

lol, open your eyes! (look where the hose is pointed!)
no idea what it is though

I should mention, I put it through that metal thing so it was easier to take a picture, It was hanging down when I found it.

In the second picture on the left hand side on the inlet manifold there is a nipple....attach it to there.

Far out, I am blind!! thanks for pointing that out to me. Sorry for the stupid thread.

its a vacuum line attach as above your car would have been idling poorly

[madglf3]

Thanks Will, done and done.

I can't believe that I didn't even see the nipple right there.

Thats your fuel pressure regulator on the other end of that vac line
Kinda important

So you are gonna have 2 crap things happen with that off, excessive fuel consumption, too high fuel pressure, and drawing secondary air, very inportant and yeah that was 3 points

Don't worry, if you hadn't of asked you'd never have known So how does the car feel now?

I haven't yet had a drive actually. I know I know, it was right there in front of me. The garage was dark will be my excuse, but how did I miss it in the pic .

haha, d/w, because you couldn't see it at the time in the flesh, you wouldn't have thought that taking a photo would help you find where it goes. whereas we had only the photo to look at.

this is a good reminder that the occassional inspection under the bonnet, even if you're like me and know little about cars, can be a good thing because you find things like this disconnected and things that just don't look right.
