Problem with a pipe, advise please

[Commando_Rob]

Hi all, having a look round the engine bay after topping up with some oil the other day and noticed this pipe is really deformed ? car drives ok though noticed at low speeds it can some times kangaroo slightly could this pipe have anything to do with it?

Thanks in advanced for any advice.

Hmm, don't recognise it. Looks like a vac line.
Which engine?

Think off hand it was £12 ish? But purchased with lots of other bits too...Simple, has the factory one use clips either end so just replace those with jubilee clips should be a 5 min job.

Do you have the part number by any chance just having a look at real OEM and can't work out which one it is ?

Is it 11727545323?

Thanks will get to the stealers and get one bought.

Anyone got any ideas on why mine has collapsed and deformed like it has??

Maybe just old age? If it's a vacuum line then when it gets weaker it will tend to get sucked in.
Whereas a fluid line will still be full so hold it's shape. Will take a lot more pressure to make the pipe bulge out of shape.
