Saxo Air Valve Hose Issue

Hey, I've got a check engine light on my 2001 Citroen Saxo (gasoline engine). I think it's the air valve. Looks like there might be a problem with the hose from the pump to the valve. Anyone seen this before?

I had similar issues with my 2014 Opel Astra, but it was the air intake itself. The engine stalled and idled rough. Is yours stalling or running rough, especially when idling? If so, the hose is likely the problem, causing air supply issues.

Thanks! Yeah, it's idling rough, like you said. What did you do to figure out the air intake problem on your Astra?

Rough idle confirms it. I checked the air supply system. But since your Citroen is older and the air valve system could be tricky, I'd suggest a good workshop. They can easily fix the hose.

Thanks for the advice. Took it to a local shop, and it was the hose to the air valve. Cost 175€. Glad it's sorted!
