Default Help with a cracked hose

Hello guys, I'm new here. I engaged in the painful process of replacing my crank Position Sensor on my 2001 C320. Although I succeeded I managed to crack a hose coming out from the rear left valve cover, runs on the firewall into the brakes system.

Do not know the name of the hose or what it does or if the car is eve drivable

Here some pictures:





Thanks for the inputs

Andres

The other end that's still in there can come right out. Push down on the ring around it.....or press in the tabs to remove the tube. Just tell parts its a hard plastic hose that goes from the engine to the brake boooster. They can show you a pic of it so you can point it out to them.

Thanks so much I was really worry about the removal of that part stock in the manifold. At least now I know is possible, now I just have to figure out how to grab it since is kind of broken deep into the manifold.
I went to the dealer yesterday and order the hose and other little parts to see what I need to replace. I hope the end at the brake booster is easy to remove. The hose is $88 and around $20 for the plastic clip.
I'm assuming if I managed to replace the CPS I could do this.. (hope)

Again thanks so much.

I guess this applies for both ends?

Thank you very much

For the brake booster side it just pulls out. The engine side you'll need to push in a plastic ring around the hose then pull out the hose
