Default Got Vag Com codes need help to decipher (16825 - EVAP Emission Control Sys)

A few days ago I had a blow out in my front passenger tire on the freeway. The flying pieces damages some of the plastic lining the inside of the wheel well. I noticed that a small (about 3/8") black tube running behind the wheel well got cut and the check engine light came on. I removed the broken part and patched it up with a new piece but the light came back the next day.

FYI car has about 46000 miles on it.
I scanned my car with vag com tool and this is one of the codes I got:
16825 - EVAP Emission Control Sys: Incorrect Flow
P0441 - 002 - Lower Limit Exceeded - MIL ON
Most responses that i've found on the forum say this is due to a loose gas cap but I think on my car it has to do with the broken hose. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT ELSE MAY HAVE GOTTEN DAMAGEDOR WHAT I SHOULD TRY NEXT?

Another fault that came up and kinda worries me is:
16684 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
P0300 - 002 - Lower Limit Exceeded - Intermittent
IS THIS NORMAL OR DO I NEED TO CHANGE SPARK PLUGS ALREADY?

And finally another code I'm worried about is on the ABS system:
01826 - Sensor for Steering Angle (G85); Supply Voltage Terminal 30
35-10 - - - Intermittent
IS THIS SOMETHING SERIOUS?

Thanks any help will be much appreciated, I have cleared all of them and will monitor the car to see which ones come back.

Did you clear the codes before? If not, clear the codes and see which ones come back.

I did the low tech way of disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. That made the yellow engine light go away but it came back a day later. I have the Vag tool now and cleared all the faults. I will see which ones come back. However I have a feeling the EVAP Emission Control one will return.

That line that got busted was most likly the line for the evap purge solenoid. That would throw the incorrect flow fault. I would double check the repair job. If its not airtight youll get the incorrect the flow. The steering angle sensor fault was probably the result of a dead battery. Random mifire faults are not uncommon when no problem persists, especially on the 2.8.

If you have a vagcom you should be able to run a basic setting on 71. That will use the leak detection pump to presurrize the tank. You may be able to hear or feel the leak. Its no much pressure thou.

replace the pipe and clear the code ( just disconnecting the battery doesn't always work ) so a code reader might be required

I got the vag com tool and cleared the codes and the evap codes came back. Anybody got a part number for that pipe? Is it a dealer only item?
