BHPian JustStarted recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Yesterday while checking oil noticed a crack in a hose. For the time being, I have put duct tape on it.
Any idea what is this for and how urgently I should get it fixed?
It is a 2013 EcoSport 1.5L petrol version.
I checked with the Ford service center and the mechanic said that it's a brake booster vacuum line and the entire line needs to be replaced.
It will cost 4500 with labor as a rubber part is not available. But I am not sure why the vacuum line will be connected to the air filter hose.

Also found an image of the hose in the parts catalogue.
I will check in the local market first for a used one.
