UrS6 - Matt Black Silicone Vacuum Hoses ?

[macspring]

Does anyone have a UK based link for the above ?

Looking at my 18 year old UrS6, I can see that the various original oem small vacuum hoses are 'old' and stiff. They twist easily at each end, and can be moved backwards and forwards a tiny bit at each end of the respective pipes, which can't be good for a 101% perfect seal.

Can you advise of the size of the hosing and suitable jubilee clips / plastic clamps ?

What does the tool look like to the once off tighten original oem small hose clamps ? Link ?

And while these questions have most likely been asked before, if the thread can be kept reasonably succinct, it will make a useful sticky. for C4 and also B4 owners.

Lastly, and Dave probably knows this one also, what is the size and length of the two respective water hoses under the inlet manifold of a UrS6 ? The one from the turbo return and the one for the thermostat housing ?

Thanks for any assistance.

The turbo coolant return hose is NLA but it was 160 mm. The larger one, I am not sure of the length.

Hi Dave, thanks for spoon feeding me. much appreciated. Any one any information on the small rubber vacuum lines. Thanks.

It's not like I haven't tried to help people figure out how to use Ekaterina to get part numbers or anything.

Oh wait...http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthr...ight=Ekaterina

So you go to http://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+a6+...6q/1996-175/1/

And then you do a Ctrl F search on "vacuum", looking for AAN specific info.

That will get you to http://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+a6+.../1/103-103089/ (but that is not what you want) so you go back and go for the next "vacuum" hit. There are a few others, but they are "not the droids you're looking for" either. So you keep looking. But then you get to http://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+a6+.../1/133-133070/ which is what I think you are looking for.

Should be like this diagram (without the colour):

So now you have some AAN vacuum line PNs, like 034133584T (item 22 above) You do a search for 034133584T at somewhere like ECS Tuning and then you fall down on the floor laughing and crying because of this:

Then you get up and dust your self off and wipe your eyes and shake your head. That's just nucking futs. You go back to Ekaterina and have a look at the V6 vacuum lines where you find http://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+a6+...133-133081/#15. Specifically N0203535 and N0201391

You check them out at ECS tuning because they most often have photos of the droids, er, parts you are looking for.

How was that?? At least you know how to find the PNs and what you can put into a more local search. Sometimes local auto car parts stores have bulk vacuum hose on a roll that just might do, now that you know the sizes, etc.

Maybe if you didn't use made up names like Ekaterina and Kate, people would have an idea what the hell you are on about. It's an online parts catalogue, not some girl you busted a nut over back in high school, and now stalk on Facebook on a daily basis regretting your life choices.

Love your lack of sense of humour.

I assume that you know your way around electronic parts catalogues and will be helping those in need of Parts Numbers instead of me. Thanks.

BTW: not on Fecesbook. Never have been. Thanks

Regrets? One or two. Not bad for 64.5.

Vac lines, you can buy the original cloth covered vac line from Audi quite cheaply I think it comes as a 3m length? I just use black (or orange ) silicon 3mm bore hose from ebay and either small zip ties or oetiker clampps which you can close with sidecutters or woodworkers pincers (depending on access)

Check the right size for your hose!
