Hose inpection on Multi Function switch for automatic transmission

[gkot at adelphia.net]

Dear Mike
I saw the new part and talked to the mechanic.  It is not the mesh hose that
was the problem.  Rather, there is a very small and short "vent" hose which
truthfully, I do not know that one can do anything to protect against
deterioration.  I am also curious what its purpose is.  Why do we need a
vent hose on the park neutral safety switch-- aka -- by Audi as the
multifunction switch for automatics.
