Loose breather hose??/engine light

    Hi,
    My yellow engine light came on today, and when I popped the hood I noticed the hose in the photos (with the red string tied around it) was disconnected.

    So I connected it again, and started the engine ,but the yellow light did not go off the dash.

    Only got it serviced last month and a new 02 sensor put in it,
    so was hoping this disconnected hose had something got to do with that light??
    Any ideas??

    Thanks

    Looks like an air intake... But I can't say for sure. You're best taking it to a garage and getting it checked. Engine warning lights are not good things to have...

    I don't have any spare money to be messing around with garages , its connected now anyway, just wondering why the light didn't go out.

    Thanks for your reply

    It's a breather pipe alright, maybe crankcase breather, not 100% sure.
    The light won't go out as a fault code must have been logged, you would need to get the car scanned with vcds (I presume it's a vag car) and clear the fault.

    I might be able to clear it for you if you are around North Dublin.

    ^Which is why I was saying you're better off taking it to a garage. The light is saying there's something not right with the engine. Its best to take it to a garage and get it sorted rather than taking your chances with it which could end up being very expensive later as engine repairs cost a fortune.

    The guys at the garage would connect the engine to their diagnostic computer and will instantly find out what's causing the light to stay on.
