Identify this hose!

Hey - whilst cleaning near a leaking brake fluid reservoir I realised that a hose was present that was clipped in place (not to do with the brake system) but not connected to anything!

Couldn't find any places where it would have been attached to.

Looked up the product code on the hose - but could't find any matches.

Any detective work appreciated - pics attached.

3M51-R017C06-AC is a water drain pipe presumably a drain for the air con system considering it ends with AC.

That is without being able to check it up with the parts catalog and just the basic info I have gleaned from foreign websites that have that part number listed.

It is not mean't to be connected at one end as it is a drain pipe.

Hi @simcor - thanks for Googling for me.  I did try do that - but my settings on my phone must have been set to UK or english only results as I got nothing.  Doing it now from laptop getting the same results as you.

Did indeed think it was an a/c related pipe.  Myself and @Markb55 now have the same issue.... can't actually see where it should connect to fulfil it's draining function.

Any replies appreciated - esp ones where someones had a look at their MK2 with A/C around the firewall/back of the engine.

Its a drain pipe, the open end doesnt fit any where, drains rainwater from the panel above.
