I was working on my new-to-me A6 last night when I noticed something a little concerning - I wondered if anyone else with the 6-cylinder engine could look and see if yours is the same?

If you look near the middle of the attached photo, there's an A/C hose that's just barely rubbing on the side of the vacuum pump. My question is, is it supposed to be that way? I'm wondering if I'm missing a bracket or clip, or some sort of protection on the hose like the nearby coolant line has. I worry if it's left that way, eventually the hose could be damaged.

If anyone has an underhood photo I can look at to compare, I'd appreciate if you could post it!
