Hello, looking for help identifying this hose, locates under the intake manifold.
2009 XF Premium Luxury model (250) 4.2l engine.

Thanks in advance!

 

Heater hose to throttle body?

 

Yes, throttle body heater hose. Thanks for your reply!

 

It's also known as the "PITA hose" since you have to remove the intake manifold in order to access it.......

 

PITA is true. Why design it like that. Even the design of the thermostat housing and the inlet to the engine - that is how I found my way there is the first place. Both the thermostat housing and inlet had broken pieces. Had to remove the intake manifold to get to the inlet. Such poor design.
