  • Those damn vac. pipes!

    Folks,
    Having my usual scout around the engine of my RR (same as 3B) engined ur-quattro today, I have just noticed a 3" long split in the 8-ish mm O.D. vac. pipe running from the I.M. along the top of the turbo area under the cover. Must be down on power then!

    A couple of the other little hoses look a bit sad as well.
    Is it best to replace with new standard hoses or is there a better version (Samco?) in black that fits and looks as well as the original?

    Also, where best to get either type of hose and how much (price & length)?

    Lee can supply you with SFS Silicone hoses to replace these with, drop him a PM of what you need

        Cheers chaps!
        I shall contact Lee Re: the hoses. Silicon does seem a better choice than the relatively fragile original type!

        Hopefully soon back on-boost!
