Connection to inlet manifold

[Romeoman]

Would someone be able to tell me the name of the part I need? It's a short rubber hose that connects a stiff plastic tube to the back of the inlet manifold close to the throttle body. I need to replace it and don't know what to ask for. It's a Mk 2 Ph 2 172
Thanks a lot.

The stiff plastic tube that goes into the back of the 172 manifold is for the brake servo I think pal.

If your going to Renault and tell them roughly what part your after and they'll bring up a parts diagram on computer and then just show them what part you require.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I have been to my local Renault parts specialist but he wasn't able to identify the part. even when I showed it to him on the car. It didn't show up on the diagram he had. Could it be just a short length of a standard size hose?
If it's not carrying any fluids perhaps it doesn't have to be anything special.

No need to go to Renault on that.

Any length of stiff pipe will do as long as it's the correct diameter. Vacuum hose to the servo.
