That looks like its a air con pipe. The HBV is at the back of the engine just below windscreen, drivers side.

Thanks lads, blue pipe isn't my doing - previous owners responsibility that one! Ok Vx only or are patterned ones just as good?

The black "flying saucer" shaped device with 2 rubber hoses going to it, and a small vac on the top is an HBV. Dealer only.  Please note that the TD one is different to all other Omega ones.

The blue pipe seen in this photo is not oem and I need to replace it as its leaking, it goes from the back outlet on the header tank to the lower of the dual outlets on the HBV.  Would anyone happen to have the correct part number for this pipe?

 I've just been into Vauxhalls and bought a replacement header tank and heater bypass valve but we couldn't find the correct pipe on his part system to link the two together !

A TD HBV only has 2 ports, not 3 as other Omegas?

Well I can only assume this is oem unless a certain someone has fiddled with it!  :D

If you 100% sure I can return the parts for the correct HT and HBV...

  If the hose that needs replacing is the same diametre both ends, a replacement could be sourced from a good reputible hose and hydrolic specialist
