Due to the frequent heating and cooling of the engine, many rubber parts in the engine compartment are defective because of dehydration.
It often happens that the engine does not work properly, which is due to the fact that it attracts air. Air is drawn through openings that should not be present, such as cracks in rubber parts that serve as connectors.
This intake boot is a coupling part that often suffers from dehydration. Do not try to repair it with all kinds of miracle cures, replacement is the only correct way to fix the leak.
