Hi, new to this site and not particularly knowledgeable but am hoping you can help. I replaced the headlight bulb on the driver side headlight. When putting the air filter box back in, I hit a valve (possibly the canister vent valve). I have clear pictures, just need to know what it is called so I can get a replacement. Your assistance is Greatly appreciated. 2006, s60 2.5.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate it bskeels!! Does this part required specialized equipment to install? Also, my neighbor dropped the spring into the engine never to be seen again. Can I drive it short distances without the spring temporarily?

no specialized equipment, it connects 3 hoses. I can't remember if it stops the vacuum pump from continuously running or if it turns it on. It is part of the brake booster system, at the worst you would have brakes without the boost. Someone else on this forum might know.

Thank you again, I really appreciate your assistance. I got the nerve up to drive the car today and all seems fine.
