Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello: I have a 01 Carrera. Trying to remove the air box, and noticed there is an extra air tube on the left side of the throttle body inlet. Checked out some videos on you tube, but could not see this extra tube on these videos where is this air tube connected to and what is its function thanks d
Think it's a vacuum line for the tiptronic system you should be ok to disconnect to remove airbox, it's not on manual cars that's why you have seen vids with this not there, they were probably working on a manual car
ok, thanks
Its not a vacuum line if it's on the inlet side of the throttle body..Not sure where it goes, but if it does go to the trans, then it's probably some type of breather/vent.
Rattlsnak is correct. Not all Tips have that extra hose (mine doesn't). People who change out the stock air box for an aftermarket one put a small cone filter on the end of that hose and just leave it hanging.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
