Welcome on the forum.

Welcome @zap279,

I don't know my way around the M43/M44 series engines, but I'm sure someone from the [USERGROUP=12]@M44 Massive[/USERGROUP] should be able to help you. I've tagged the group so hopefully one of them will be along soon!

That's an M43 block you've got there (I've got one too.)
from a quick search on RealOEM, I've deduced it may well be a hose elbow for the fuel supply to the injectors. Number 7 on the diagram at the link. Would be great if somebody could also take a second look as I am not 100%.

That's the pipe that's split, now it's another problem I've got to resolve as the car keeps overheating and I thought that was the problem ok I've changed the radiator temp sensor fan switch but it still keeps overheating, could it be the fan

Ok, hmm. I asked the question because the 1.8l engines were discontinued sometime in 2000.

If it's a fuel pipe it will leak fuel, if it's a water pipe it will leak water and it's a vacuum pipe it will suck unmetered air into the engine and the engine will most likely run rough?
Is it doing any of the above?

We keep loosing water and it keeps overheating so perhaps it's a water issue. Will any pipe do or does it have to be the specific part ?

I would replace it like for like to be honest then you won't get any kinks in it. But are you sure that is where you are losing water from? I can't see any stain from anti-freeze on the picture of the pipe you posted.
