If it's a 52 plate, you want to be posting in the MKVI Section

the pipe is a vacume pipe and proberly connects under the airfilter box!
and as for not reving past 3k sounds like it is in limp home mode !!
get it on a diagnostic computer and it will tell u y! (proberly a sensor has failed like the cam or crank sensor!)

hope this helps!

yep thats a vacum pipe it fits onto the side of the airbox! when u remove the air box they also come off and ive seen alot of times people forgeting 2 replace them!
sadly though that wont be causing your 3k rev limit problem!
