Default 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

Default goto the dealer, but just ask for the part, install your self, they dunno bout your chip that way...

It seems from your post, that you would be able to DIY the job... (dunno much about the vacuum hoses meself, definate audi engine noob here...

Default You could also go to Autozone and get a new T for about 30cents

Probably faster than the dealer.
