Title: where to buy vacuum hoses
Post by: smithysmoo on 11 March 2008, 13:44

Can't find any leaks but going to replace to be on the safe side. Where do you get the correct bore hoses from.

Cheers

scrappy yard. or vw stealer.

to be honest mate if you wana make sure they aint leaking, put them in a bucket of water, hold off one end with your finger inside the water and blow down the other end. you'll see any leaks in the pipe instantly.
