Bit of a strange one...here goes..
Last week, i did the stupid thing of trying to drive somewhere( the doctors, i was late), in rush hour Swindon traffic...
I was at a junction, a car in front of me, and i was getting impatient, i admit it.
I was looking to the right, and keeping a bit of an eye on the car in front, but looking to the right a bit more.
I noticed there was a gap in the traffic, looked ahead, the car brake lights went out, so i thought the car in front was moving,...it had stalled, i hit the back of it.
I fully held responsability, apologised etc, but the driver , wasnt having any of it, she started to get really angry, swearing, etc,,,then she said she was worried as she had just finished her drink driving ban.
We both pulled over into a car park, where againn she went mental, i gave her my details, when i asked for hers she told me to fudge off, and drove off( after stalling again).
I still havent heard from her insurers , this was last Wednesday.
Anyways, my car , a 2002 VW Passat, 1.9TDI, no mods, sufferd a passenger side headlight broken, little bit of a bent Nearside wing, and now i have a strange noise coming from the engine when i accelerate, it sounds like the air going in to the turbo.
Also, there is what seems to be a bit of oil coming from a big fat hose, from behind the nearside( passenger) light unit.
I wiggled it about , and it is quite loose, so , im thinking, this hose, does something with the air, and is maybe going to the turbo.(causing the air sound)
Also its chucking out black smoke when i accelerate.
Its right behind the passenger light, and looks like it was knocked in the bang.
My question (after the longest story ), is how do i find out what type and make the hose is to be able to order one??
Its a dead easy fix, ive orderd a new light from ebay,(25.99), thats from a passat, and i can also get another wing, unpainted , for 39.99, there is a paint shop near my work, so all i need now is to find out what this hose is.
Ive looked for some sort of ID numbers on it, cant see any.
