Title: Help Please, snapped N112 tube
Post by: oceanic-green on 05 July 2012, 13:43
Help please I just snapped the bit that I was planning on plugging the silicone onto. What can I do to fix it, any ideas?? As I am in the process of doing the N249 bypass.

can I T piece it from the one plastic black pipe left, so that one goes to the Secondary Air intake System, while the other goes to the inlet manifold ?

Yes that is right, I don't want to delete the SAI. My only option is to t piece it until I can get another N112. Please can someone tell me if I can t piece it Thanks

Personllly I don't know as I'm not too sure if vacuum is needed all the time there hence having that valve inplace..... Might only be needed when sai is on :undecided:

i am guessing it would be ok because both pipes would go to the same location. One to the black pipe and the other to the hole you can see next to it, which should look the same as the other if I hadn't of snapped it!

Really easy to be fair just flat both sides of the snap so they sit flushish get someone to hold together do a couple of tacks so the hold then literally just run the tip of the iron round the whole thing

Ahhh, ok, thanks mate! Only problem is that I don't have a soldering iron  :laugh: I will have to see how my T piece does! If not then I may have to buy myself a soldering iron, as it is much cheaper than £67  :laugh:

Well I done it, and it seems definitely better, but still not quite as good as it should be, maybe it is to do with the t piece I had to use?  :undecided:
