Default Broken vacuum hose

Hello!

I have a CEL, ran a quick OBII read and got the code P2006. Quick google showed that a vacuum line is common problem. Looked under the hood and bam, there it was, a broken vacuum line. Part number (06E-133-633).

I just ordered the part (link below for anyone else with the issue). Does anyone have a DIY installation video or guide to help me out?

It's easy, just did ours this past weekend....Someone posted a pic with it routed (as a red line). I used regular high temp red silicone hose 3.55mm ID. It will outlast the crappy Audi nylon hoses. The destination for this hose is below the driver's headlight, between the headlight and the brake fluid reservoir, it is attached to a much thicker hose that is braided rubber and has an audi metallic clip which is a bitch to get off.

Thank you very much. I ordered some 3.5mm hose and some connectors off Amazon. I agree this the silicon will be more reliable. That tubing is so brittle! -_-
