i pulled out the engine my self, it was a heck of a job, I changed the broken plastic pipes and assembled the engine back and now I found one plastic tube hanging behind the passenger wheel and I couldn’t locate its place to connect it to.
the part number is 3W1 612 041 AN
attached and pictures of its location, it was connected behind the steering rack marked with red circle and I pulled it out on the floor

Thank you in advance
Better pictures please....photograph the whole passenger inner side wheel arch area...there are a couple possible applications for the location of that pipe. More photos are better than less.
@Shaqovic ,
For clarification and understanding as to location of said vacuum line, please clarify your location of travel, I believe Malta to be RHD, but please state the drive of your Bentley, so we know which side is your passenger side.
Also, which side is your vacuum pump located ?

Reason: Add question
I guess the pipe in the first image and the last image goes together, correct me if I’m wrong but the one attached with the canister I couldn’t find it’s partner.
Hello @Shaqovic ,
To start, please tell us, is this your original engine, with original turbos, therefore nothing changed, nothing from different years, etc.
As to your last picture, please clarify which line you are pointing to, I take it maybe your middle finger pointing to the black line going through the small hole ?
As I see it, it appears that your rubber line with the curved metal tube, that I have marked with purple dots, that appears that you have pulled the tube out of the turbo, depending on year, some use all 3 holes, whereas some cap one, that's why I need to know exactly what we are working with, if all original, please post a picture of the turbo top where the other tubes/hoses are.
I will continue in my next post as to the hose with the braided cover.
@Shaqovic ,
As to the hose with the braided cover, I have marked that in green, and yes, it should hook up to the black plastic vacuum line in the passenger wheel well, my only issue is the fact of the black plastic tube running through that small hole, mine was not like that, my vacuum tube runs right with the 3 other tubes, meaning, the fuel supply, fuel return, and the purge, the blue, white, and black lines with the quick connection fittings.
See my pics, my vacuum line runs with the other 3 through a rectangular opening, not a single small hole.

I was suspicious about it and you confirmed it, they goes together, now with the third pipe which has a metal end in it, I checked the drivers side and it’s capped but the passenger side is not, my main problem was the broken vacuum lines that’s why I dropped the engine, I need to dissemble the turbo and hope I will find it, I have this car for 10 years now, I don’t think the engine is changed.
If I couldn’t find its place in the turbo, could I just cap it and no harm will happen, perhaps the previous owner replaced the turbo which I doubt it happened, the pipe comes from the throttle to canister (emission purge) what purpose it serves to connect it to the turbo ?
@Shaqovic ,
Ok, the driver's side is capped, post a picture of the passenger side turbo at the location on top, you shouldn't need to disassemble the turbo, just press the tube back into the open hole, it's on the vacuum side, so no pressure to blow it out.
Please post a picture, I know it's 1:46 AM for you, but as I understood your PM, you are working through it right now.
So, move the plastic bag and snap some pictures please.

the car is in the garage shop now and I’m sitting home on the forum looking for answers
I will do as instructed tomorrow morning, your help relieved me a lot
@Shaqovic ,
Great, get some rest and start fresh !
The first pictures are of the 2 turbos I have sitting upstairs right now, I just snapped these pictures, the driver's side is capped, the passenger side is missing the tube just as I am 99.975% yours is, my belief is that your tube came out just as it did on the set I have, I have also added 2 pictures showing the tube in place.
Good luck tomorrow !
