Good question! I replaced mine since it was old and brittle and kept breaking. (Sound familiar?) I hadn't realized it was only in the tip. I know it is part # 96611017000 and costs just over $100. I understand the venturi principle. I too would like to know what a hundred plus dollar plastic tube, that I had to replace, does in my car!
