What is an "air valve"?

(ie you need more info from the mechanic and need to post more info here....)

Get the real name of the part and replace it, or let him replace it. Assuming he knows what the part actually is...

The part number is 13717548899 and its rubber boot with resonator that need replacing. Wonder why he called it airvalve! Could that be the reason for high fuel consumption and engine hesitation?
