Post by: pickles on 19 January 2012, 13:14
went to replace some vacuum hoses and manage to snap off  nipple whilst taking the one time clip off :(, could i plug this hole and T in some wr else, its the line between the DV and air intake, the fpr line is located next to it.

cheer m8, might have to do it yet, managed to jam a section of tube inside the hole and jammed the nipple over that, was the red tube from a wd40 can lol, had to chamfer it down a bit with a stanley tho to get a nice snug fit, just hope it doesnt pop off

just to note i got this sorted and also, when i was extending my boost gauge hose i dint have anything to connect the hoses so ended up using the tube from a lolly and tie wrapping it tight, seems all is well :)
