Default EVAP leak - now with pic

<center><img src="http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/61/s4leaksg3.jpg"></center><p>I'm getting Bank 1&amp;2 lean, random and every cylinder misfire, and EVAP leak codes, and just noticed this leak/tear in the photo.

The thing is, I don't know how to replace it, or where to get one!

Sorry I didn't have a good picture last time, hope this helps.

Car is an 01, 6-speed, 163k

Any thoughts?

Default It's called a suction pump. Here's some info from the archives.

Default Yeah not a good one to fail. It's a boost leak and supplies vacuum to your brake booster.

Mine broke and sometimes I didn't have brake assist. Scary.

Default

I did it just for piece of mind. Plus my attempt to seal it didn't work.

Default Oh damn...where can I pick one up besides the dealer? Would it cause those sorts of codes?

Sorry I don't have them handy, the laptop is in the car and I'm at work

Default Dumb question: Why not just delete it?

Like the RS4 and 2000 S4. Run brake booster right to manifold (I believe there's a one way valve in the elbow at the firewall for the vacuum resevoir), and cap the accordion hole?

Default Got mine from Brian @ Avalon Motorsports.

I don't think it would cause misfire codes. In fact, I had no codes at all. I just found mine from pressure testing for boost leaks.

Default I'm not exactly sure how that system works so I couldn't comment on that.

I know there's a connection to the manifold, a connection at the accordian hose and then the connection to the brake booster. I'm not sure how they are all tied in to make the system work.
