help :( vacuum hose broke.... which dealership should I take her to?
#1: I'm chipped and don't have a stock program to switch to.
#2: the actual hose didn't pop off, one of the male parts of the T broke off. (three hoses are connected through a plastic T, with a male section going into each hose, and each are clamped) These hoses are right under the manifold, not that that matters.
Anyway...so I need a new T. And possibly a new hose cuz I can't get the broken male section out of the hose. My car's throwing a CEL and is sputtering while at idle.
I was thinking of just bringing it to a dealership and having them replace the T. Shouldn't be a big deal right? I'm still under warranty.
Any suggestions? It actually happened while I was in Lexington by my parents house so I'm going to stay here tonight and maybe bring it to the dealership in Burlington.
If anyone thinks that's a bad idea, let me know. Let me know if that's fine too.
Or should I bring it to Clair?
Thanks guys... Hanwei
