Just had the car serviced this Friday. Today I took it for a trip to my parents and about 40 minutes in I received a reduced performance warning. I stopped, turned off the car, turned it back on and now it's gone. Now throughout the journey, the car has been making a loud whooshing sound when accelerating (an issue that has only been evident today).
I've since popped the bonnet to examine various hoses as other other threads have suggested this may be the intercooler hose or turbo hose. The engine bay is clean and dry, save for the picture attached. It looks like the pipe is tearing slightly and moisture has collected around the tear. Now, I'm a novice to cars so any advice on (i) what this pipe/hose is, (ii) how serious the issue is and whether i can continue to run the vehicle and (iii) how I go about getting it repaired would be much appreciated.
Thanks all!
