your saying that you broke the plastic vacuum line from the manifold to the selinoid for the EGR?
1 the EGR valve will not open IE not work
2 you will have a vacuum leak.


so you should fix it for both reasons. if you don;t wanna replace it with a factory replacment you can just get a section of rubber vac hose to repair it

just to confirm.. http://shbox.com/1/egr.jpg number 2 in that pic is whats broke correct?

the seliniod has intake vacuum, when comanded the selionoid opens alowing vacuum to the EGR valve to open it. Without vacuum it doesn't open so yeah you must replace it
