Its simple enough to fix by replacing the broken plastic pipe with standard 4mm braided vacuum hose and a T piece.

Well, she's spot on yet again (see photo below). And thanks to Sean as well for sending me the guide from Audipages.com. I only replaced the plastic pipes that Michaela mentioned as I couldn't get to the vacuum reservoirs without major (for me) dismantling work.
Started it up and the engine management light went away without even needing to clear it!
