Yesterday while checking oil noticed a crack in a hose. For the time being, I have put on duct tape on it.

Any idea what is this for and how urgently I should get it fixed.

It is a 2013 ecosport 1.5L petrol version.

Thanks

^ Appears to be a vent tube from the fuel tank to the air intake - part of the EVAP system. The tape would do just fine. Spray some colin all over the engine bay and wipe off, could do with some cleaning

Thanks, i checked with FORD service center today, mechanic said its a brake booster vacuum line and entire line need to be replaced.

it will cost 4500 with labor as child rubber part is not available,


but i am not sure why vacuum line will be connected to air filter hose.

uploading some additional images

top pipe goes to brake booster
bottom one to air intake
third one to air filter hose
