98 Jetta GL vacuum line
Hi, 98 Jetta GL vacuum line, seems really
cheap, thin hard plastic... anyway I've taped over a couple leaks but now I see it leaks where it connects to the brake booster, where there is a rubber "L" fitting at the end. The fitting itself is a little loose. Can that be "yanked" out and a new one "shoved" in? tia, Les

The fitting is just pressed in without any clamp. How do you it's leaking? SFC

We're getting codes for "evac leak small" and "system too lean" I know too lean could be bad... thanks Les

I was wondering is this was easily replaceable. thanks Les

Usally the rubber hose will leak not the hard plastic line. Rubber doesn't
like the crank case vapours.
