how do you repair a TIP?

[WeeJase]

i recently bought one second hand
found today that there's a hole in it near the MAF end.first thought that came to mind was to insert it into the previous owner as a thank you .
would putting a small nyloc nut and bolt through help seal it?
any idea as to where its been rubbing so much that its worn a hole through 5 ply silicone hose?
had this mad idea of bathroom sealant,but the idea of that going into the inlet fills me with dread.

 

[m0rk]

a pipe went into it jase.....

 

[WeeJase]

accidentally or its was put there?

 

[m0rk]

was meant to be there.

I can't remember what hose it was, but I can look next time I'm there

 

[WeeJase]

mmmm. odd! oh well can't moan at half retail price,mushroom head bolt on the inside and a small nut will sort it.i hope

 

[WeeJase]

so i need to connect this little fella to it then?
don't tell me,not a leon or octavia vrs specific TIP i have ?every other one i have seen has a hose boss coming out at this point.
my life just gets better.

 

[m0rk]

[WeeJase]

yeah, connect that pipe to it

what's the problem?

jubilee's all round ?got some good quality ones locally.
do wee need a guide for the site? or has one been done?
had a lean into the engine bay last night ,and i think i may be able to do it from the top(2x jeremy beadle hands )

 

[m0rk]

yeah, you'll want jubilee's all round (I must have robbed them for future use)

No silicon tip guide, so it would be cool with puics for the main site

shaun took the pipe in to the back to size up the clips,then one by one they came out of the stores with it going

You would be able to fix that hole with silicone sealant. The type for windows.
