Tonight, while looking around under the hood, I found a hose that goes from my brake booster to a little valve on the intake manifold into my A15 that looked damaged and flattened. Thinking that this was probably not good, I went out and bought a new hose line, disconnected the old one from the intake and then the brake booster and replaced it, screwing it down on each end with some hose clamps like what was done before. Everything is normal except when I touched the brakes the first time the pedal was stiff. Touched it a few more times and it was better but the engine revs up about 500 rpms from idle...is this normal?
What does the hose do and what is the valve pictured on my intake do?
Just worried I've done something wrong.
Cheers.
