So, on my '08 FSI motor, a brake booster vacuum hose was dry, cracked, and leaking. (Part 1k0612041kc), I bought the $52 replacement, and got the brake booster end of the hose detached just fine...

The other end, which I don't know what it is actually attached to, is now ruined, as I broke the nipple off while wrestling with the hose end.
(Trying to share pictures, but it's a tight fit).


Feeling really screwed right now.

1.) What did I break!?
2.) What needs to be replaced now?
3.) What are the odds I'm taking this to the shop?

I'm clearly not a mechanic, but I'm relatively patient and can follow directions. I just haven't found much information yet, and after breaking that piece off, it's safe to say I'm worried about my fate.

Thanks for any help.

What did you end up doing? I just did the same thing to mine

Oooh man, this was a few years back, and I don't remember the steps or process. I do know I got through it and I am not that savvy. I feel like Youtube never let me down with the GTI also. Sorry I can't be more helpful here right now & best of luck!

did you ever figure this out just had the same issue and can find anything on the plastic piece at the end that goes under the timing cover?
