Thanks a lot for advice!

Drove today to the dealership and picked up a plastic hose ($6 per meter, they gave it to me for free). 5 minutes to replace the hose - simply cut it to the right length and plug it into the rubber connectors on both ends. The old hose got very brittle and was breaking easily. Will see tomorrow if the codes get cleared.

While taking off the cover saw a lot of oil build-up on a Camshaft Adjuster Magnet. Cleaned it to check if new oil appears.
It's interesting to see or hear of a dealer that takes care of their customers; they are not ALL thieves and hustlers. It's good to hear something nice about them once in a while....
