My car is a 96 P Corsa 1.2, has been running rough lately, vibrates like mad and sounds n feels like a diesel, wondering if this could be the problem
also it seems to run through here:

Possibly a vacuum pipe, not sure though...
Plug it in a random hole

there should be a place for that vaccum on the one way valve of the brake servo vaccum pipe (that big solid black plastic pipe next to it)

Do you mean this one?, is it related to the braking system or the engine?

Had to improvise a connector out of some old screen washer piping to fit them together as there was no connector there, but it seems to have improved things as the engine dosent vibrate as much as it was and is a lot quieter and smoother, cheers, if it hadnt of been sorted, would it have affected engine performance or braking performance in any way?

So whats supposed to be connected to the vaccum pipe valve then? and the grey pipe is not long enough to be connected to anything else that i can see, and it doesnt look like there is anything else in there that is loose that shud be connected to the black vaccum pipe
