The vacuum line on the intake manifold is stretched to the kilt, and ripping at the intake manifold in front. it appears to be leaking. no idea where the other end goes under the manifold (too hot).

There is the same problem with a hose which oddly seems to be coming from under the intake manifold (REAR) and going to a silver can between the motor and the firewall. ripping at end. audi super-man clamps on it lol

How should i tackle this? the car has thrown a CEL for 2ndary air injection : FLOW TOO LOW recently as well. Anyone got any ideas where that device is? everything else looks good the L pipe but obviously im gonna battle those damn clamps and not seeing what i'm doing.

I was toild by a friend that is a tek for audi that the silver can takes in air only at start up, but I am planning on replacing the whole vacuum line.

broken hose at the rear. The silver thing you are talking about is the secondary air combination valve. The hose being torn gives it no vacuum supply and it cannot operate. Thus the "flow to low" fault. Replace both hoses, clear the fault, and call it done.

Yup

1/4 scale

Do what Robkmac says, it will solve your problems, new 1/4 hose" should do it
