Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Not an easy one (but might be good in a competition!) - Roughly whereabouts on the system was it?

Probably a return pipe sleeve or a hydraulic union - but it would help narrow things down inf you post your VIN up so we can rule out 70% of what it isn't.
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

The side nearest the camera (2nd photo) looks like a 90deg bend that has split away.
Bore size does suggest a 3.5mm/4mm fluid return pipe.
There should be a leak somewhere, unless it's a 'leftover' from an earlier repair.

I think that this post may give a clue:

Since they are return pipes they are easier than the supply lines. As you can see those
pipes are "pop-in" type.

and a part number for the assembly? Double check, as there are different versions depending on car specification.

Also notice that the currently available replacement harnesses have different moulded joiners.

Thank you all. I am asking this on behalf of my father. Unfortunately that part is no longer in the car and those two pictures were sent to him by his car mechanic. This car mechanic does not know the name of the part and official service does not want to repair/bother with Xantia. Mechanic told that this part is part of hydraulics, responsible for car balancing. It is made from hard rubber. It is placed in the middle between 2 front wheels. It looks very similar to part that @xantia_v6 posted, maybe it is. I'll ask my father to check with car mechanic if this is the part we are looking for. Thanks again!

The part that is broken off is not available separately (and never has been). As far as I can tell, you need one of these:https://www.drxantia.com/index.php/en/v ... oom-detail . Your broken-off part is the clear plastic section at the right hand end in the picture of the replacement product.

I believe that Dr Xantia is a reliable supplier.

Yes that is the one. Sorry about the broken link, I have fixed that now.
