Was changing out vacuum lines and broke the nipple off on the black vacuum valve on the side of the egr. I’m wondering where I️ can just get that piece or if I️ need a whole new egr valve assembly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Black, plastic nipple would be on the N18 valve. Other than trying to glue it back in place I'm not sure there's much you can do but get another one. Nipple ON the EGR valve itself is metal (on all the ones I'm familiar with, but I can't say I've traveled in big circles).

Kind of late, but the way to ensure this kind of thing doesn't happen is to slice the hose lengthwise along the nipple so you then just peel the hose away.
