Can anyone please tell me what this is?? I have a 2011 mini S clubman and this was not attached to anything? it may be why my car is not performing under quick acceleration conditions??

Fuel tank vent pipe I think....

Any residue or deposits in the cap?

Fuel smell?

Too bad you're all wrong!

It's actually an early prototype for a Mini branded toy.

You put a ping pong ball in the cup looking end, and blow through the other end and you shoot the ball in the air and try to catch it. Repeat. Waste the day away.

If it smells like fuel, thats because they recommend a quick dipping in fuel. It helps to add a light headed and euphoric feeling when you catch the ball. It also helps to make it harder to focus the better you get.

Just don't inhale, because that would be cheating

I'd say you've dipped yours in fuel for too long and now suffering from the fumes

Just take things with a pinch of salt & chill

So was I right about being a fuel tank vent pipe?

Just giving you a little ribbing. Meant no harm

I looked around on RealOEM and came up with the same determination you did. I couldn't find any useable part #'s on the object to cross reference to anything.

Looks like it's the vent pipe for the gearbox. I would post a link or image but I'm new on this site. Google search part number 24007563920

Edit: You can also go to realoem.com, input your model/vin then go to Automatic transmission > Mounting / Suspension to see where it's connected to your car.

Possibly a vacuum pipe. Where did you find it? Does your brakes work ok?

 

[tcool1]

brakes work fine...car actually runs ok...just the same problem when i try to quickly accelerate....it was down to the right of the engine..

Bingo bheights. Auto gearbox vent pipe.

[gwj]

[tcool1]

Big end clips on top of the gearbox, not sure where the other end goes, air filter box maybe?

In case you missed it in my earlier post...

​

As for the smaller end of the hose, you might try to follow the existing curvature after reinstalling to see if anything else near there. Since it doesn't have any clamps attached on that end my guess it may be just venting to the engine bay.

Your Google Wizardry skills are far superior to mine, as I couldn't find shtick regarding that part number. +1 sir (or ma'am)
