Default Part Name???

I have a 04 LSE (1.9T). I can't find the name of this part. Its a small diaphram/spring thing plugged into the brake booster with one hose going to a air pump? and the other hose going to the exhaust header before the intercooler. It also has a microswitch in it.

All i know is when it pops apart i have no power brakes. Once the car warms up and the idle settles down the power brakes work perfect...

Any help!?!? Thanks

I found mine split apart too. I used JB Weld and held it together in my vise until it completely hardened. That was a couple years ago. Still works fine.

Not here in China. I'm running Windows 7 Home edition and can't install VIDA so no help with the exact part name. I do remember the dealer looking it up fairly easily though. VIDA has exploded diagrams of the brake system so if nothing else you can point to it on their computer.

Post a picture of it. You may also check a few parts websites to see if you can find it there.
