The hose you are holding connects to the pipe that is under your left hand, just above the white thingy.

The shorter pipe goes to the vacuum hose that has a screw inserted! The longer one goes to behid the manifold.

You may find that this part is now obsolete. It is no longer on VAGCAT, but try your local VW dealer for the part number and check the usual sources.

The part that has broken off was supplied complete and forms the vacuum off the brake servo.
