Whilst removing the starter motor on my 1.7d engine i managed to snap off a pipe from something very near the top of the starter motor.

Im not sure what it is, but when it snapped there was a hiss (like leaking air). In the pipe there seems to be a valve and some paper.

Hopefully photos are attached.

Does anyone know what this is ? Im a bit of a plank.

That looks like a brake vacuum pump same happened to mine when changing the engine it will cost you about £60 from gsf.

yip, vacuum.

I don't believe it. £60 for that and £75 for a starter motor.

Jees.

Cant find the link on GSF mind. Will keep looking.

Thanks for your help
