What To Do About Vacuum Hose

As you can see it's looking kinked, I've tried everything on this hose and it always ends up looking like this, so what have others done about this particular hose? that's silicon vacuum hose btw. I found all sorts of junk stuck in the valve...

 

you'd probably need a moulded hose, like oem or the pzp coloured hoses, for a bend like that. or you could try using a 90 degree joiner piece to make the bend and just have the silicon hose running off each end.

 

How can I get hold of something from PZP?

 

PM him (member ZRATED), not sure if his site is up and working yet

 

Nope it isnt....... and so the eternal struggle continues.

Anyone know if autobarn sell 90deg moulded vac hose?

Thanks. Oh god the price....

Before paying like 100 bucks for that little bend I'll give some other things a few try's first lol.

 

why not try

a 90degree bit of tube and cut silicone joiners to suit?

 

A bit of DIY don't know how long it will last but good enough for the weekend, idle hasnt changed and no flat spots so.....

 

looks ok

 

I bypassed steel pipe that it runs into and just ran a length of hose straight from there to the intake pipe and it finishes. Not the tidiest way but I needed something done about it there and then at the time.

 

Yea, I'll probably just do that when I get some more hose, it's a really stupid bend anyway.

 

You possibly coud install a internal spring

 

:whatever:

 

You possibly coud install a internal stainless spring spring I assuming it doesn't have one you can also put them over the top

 

Because of the shape of the idle air tube, no piece of straight hose is going to work for long because the heat will deform the hose causing it to kink as in your pic. I've already done this and had the same results. Check this out.
