Post by: ian007miles on 27 January 2011, 23:33

Hi does any one no if I can replace the original black rubber pipe that come off of the top throttle body That goes to the black box Thingy( charcoal caniser). With normal blue silicone hose(like you would use on the top of the dump valve but with bigger interal diameter obviously lol) or does it have to be oil resistant? Thanx ian

Haven't had it all off mine to check diameters but the bit that connects to the throttle body was 8mm. I just used silicon hosing and it's all fine :)
