[Vwdiesel] Plastic line from vane vacuum pump to brake booster

[Tony and Lillie]

It can simply be replaced with the standard Vw vent line in that size. I 
don't recall exactly what size, but 7mm seems to come to mind.

The hose splits all the time on late model VAG's, and we just replace it 
with the older flexible stuff. Never have any issues after replacement.
