Default Audi A3 8P 2.0 TFSI Issue

Hey guys - new to the forum!

Been enjoying my audi that I picked up 3 weeks ago. However, I had a headlight pop on me, and as I went to change it, i found this issue and Im not sure what the part is, and if its just the hose that can be changed, or if its part of a bigger issue?

Any advice much appreciated!

Im based in London so Euro Car Parts seems to be the easiest place for parts for me. Seems an easy fix, if I can find out what it is...

Thanks

It may have simply pop-off of its connection pipe. Remove the clip retainer and see if the plastic pipe can be placed back on its coupling and isn't too damage to fit back on.
If it fits, slide the retainer clip up the pipe high enough up the hose fitting and then carefully repalce the flexible pipe on the fitting and then replace the clamp on it, expanding it to do so.

I did exactly this but it doesn't sit on the connection pipe. I think the host has been crushed and now doesn't sit properly. Ut seems to be connected by two screws on the other side and just the clip retainer at the top, which has now come off.

Any idea what this part is?

It appears to be the air intake coming from the front of the car.
