Default Error Code 17887 - Found a Boost Leak

<center><img src="http://www.audiforums.com/upfiles/8628/7D8D94E0FDFC47ED83BD1970898E5D58.jpg"></center><p>The code keeps coming back
17887 - Brake boost Vacuum System Mechanical Failure

I've found many posts about this code talking about the boost leaks in the hose (or near the hose) that go thru the firewall.
So finally I found a boost leak today, in one of the hose connections, just behind the FPR.

The arrow in the picture shows where the bubbles were coming from when I used soap water.
I don't think the Part A is bad. I am looking to get the part number for B (Hose).

Can anyone could help me getting the part numbers for the leaked hose (B).
Really appreciate that.

Thanks ya'all.

Default I had the same leak, I had to replace part A

You can get the suction pump (part A) from ECS for around $23, it's a pretty common part to replace.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2432648.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2432648.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Your right, it wasn't super easy, take your time....

It's way back in the engine bay and removing the factory hose clamps isn't always fun. Just one at a time. It might help to take "L" hose off with the suction pump, after you remove the other hose clamps. I can advise to be careful, there a plastic one way valve on top that can break. There like $18 at the dealer, so just take your time. Pressure test it all again with soap (like you did the first time) when you're all done.
