Badly ripped hose - Worth checking out?

I dont know if this has been coverd before or is a known issue. I started getting choppy idle at the start of the week so started working my way round all of the air system for leaks. As I was going round I knocked into the main hose that goes into the top of the main block and heard a momentary hiss sound. I tracked the problem down to a portion of the hose that had stuck to the side of the EGR pipe and had just brocken down over time and finaly started letting in air. Once I had pulled it fully away form the EGR, the hole was about 2" long!! Patched it up pending a new hose, reset the car power and job done, no more poor idle!
I wonder if the possition of this hose against the EGR is common, if so it may be something that everyone should make a quick check on. I have now zip tied the hose away from all pipes, so it wont happen again.
I have pictures but cant figure out how to post here, cananyone help?

Hi,
you need to host your picture on something like tinypic(www.tinypic.com) or get an online album (such as www.photobucket.com) and host it there.
Then you insert it using the /img tags.

Could it be the crankcase breather pipe that goes to the air filter from the top/ rear of the engine ?
