HELP!!!! I broke this bit-what do I need to buy?

[Philip1972]

While changing the thermostat, I broke the T peice in the photos below.
There is still some in the metal pipe.

Does anyone know what part and number that is, and can I drive without it?

Thanks

Is it under loads of pressure in that pipe?

A new T piece will fix that .Just remove the broken part from the metal holder .The T piece is a push fit in to it

That is the diesel leak off pipe from the injectors. It will run with it disconnect but will piss diesel all over the place. Probably a cheap part from Mercedes but I have no idea what the part number is.

All sorted thanks.

New leak pipe bought and fitted.

Could not get the old T piece out of the plastic tubing, plus couldnt find one to buy either.
