Default what can i do

During when i was changing the timing belt i kinda snapped a line it looks like it might be a vacuum line. Should i completely replace the line or what should i do. The line is on the right side of the engine block. I have a 1998 audi a6 quattro.
I still havnt drove the car since the line snapped. I still have to put anti freeze and change transmission oil Please help thanks.

Picture of snapped line.

Find a piece of shrink wrap tubing (try Radio Shack), fit it over both ends and CAREFULLY apply heat.

Gotta love German recycled plastic....

There is a SAMPLE REQUEST ... if you don't need much.

That should be the vacuum line to the reservoir. You splice it using 5/32 ID vacuum hose, or replace the whole section with it.
