With the new silicone pipe now the car idles as it's supposed to during a cold start.

No CEL? What were the symptoms? Also, are you tuned or stock? |
On BM3 stage 2 and fabspeed.
No CEL, I just had a bit of a rough idle during cold start but thought it was something with the tune/mods but it wasn't.
So it had cracked from the sensor bracket and from the bottom of the neck where the vacuum line/sensor goes into the inlet. So I soon as I touched the line, it fell off the intake.
I've seen videos where the actual line is also cracked, but you won't know since the lines are wrapped with heat shield. So I also replaced those lines with silicone ones that go into a oil catch can.
