My check engine light cam on last night, when I checked under the hood I saw that the vacuum hose had disconnected from the filter box and was lying on top of the alternator, and there was a hole burnt into it. This morning I explained this to my mechanic and he told me that there was no need to bring the car in, and I could just buy the $4 hose and replace the old one myself. I’ve replaced the hose with the help of a friend, but the check engine light is still on…

My question is should I wait a few days to see if it disappears or should I take it to the dealership and let them charge me a lot of money for a problem so small?
