Are you going to share the picture or is it for personal use only? :lol:

 

I can't think where the green clip is off the top of my head, i know there are some white clips but they hold wires on mine.

Not sure if it's just me but I can't see any picture? I think a lot of the hoses are now obsolete but you should be able to get one from someone breaking a car in the breaking section.

If it's just at the clip, you might have enough play in the pipe to take a small trim off of it, as a temp fix, until you source another .

I can't see the pic either :)

Pictures say a thousand words ;) lol

 

if the hole is extremely small could a good super glue act as a temporary fix

Looks like one of the pipes that goes into the heater matrix - but kinda hard to tell from the picture!

yep coolant hose for the heater matrix and tee's off for throttle body, I guess you have 2 options , find one from some one on ebay that breaks corrados or on here in the classifieds section, or try and get one new from VW , needs replacing and its worth checking the rest of the hose's/cooling system aswell,

That was the first hose to go on mine. Was nearly £60 from the dealers about 5yrs ago.

 

sounds like the one from matrix to back of the block and thin one to throttle body.

 

Roose motorsport make good replacements but think they sell complete sets or the rad hoses only.
