Vacuum check valve???

Just realized my check valve is broke. Can I just buy a universal one at pepboys or something for $4 or do I need to spend $25 for an "audi" one.

If you use a universal one, the computer will know it's not an Audi brand part and throw a CEL.

I think the check valve is one of the few parts that's under $20 from the dealer. ECS tuning has them for $10.
