Should imagine they mean the pipe that goes from the servo to the inlet manifold

Check there are no splits in it, if there is you can tape it up for a temporary repair, there is also a small plastic cap on there, if this comes off you will get issues, if its missing then i bodged one back together using a piece of rubber hose and a bolt and its been fine since

yeah sounds like they have damaged this when fiddling and want you to fork out for another, they dont tend to just fail.

a mk3 one will fit, its a bit shorter but shouldnt be an issue.  unless they're on about replacing the entire hard vac line?
