And where do I get the thin Vac pipes?
« on: 21 October 2014, 10:20:25 »
Yep. Probably looking to change the thin vac pipes on the V6, as most have at least one repaired split in them. They're brittle and I've a fast and slightly hunting idle, the probably cause being a leak somewhere.

Heard somewhere VX only sell you it in 10metre lengths??? Its like selling tyres in packs of three!  ::)

Cheers  :y

The Red Baron Market again!! Right, we have a choice, then, Mr The Bear - price up Red Baron's pipe,  price up Vauxhall's and work out if it's worth two members (or three, even? No idea how much would be used per car?) clubbing to, and split the cost.

Is this pipe new unusued from VX or good used, please Mr Baron?  :)|

Thanks

Wouldn't mind betting something like this would work just fine: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/air-hose/4834914/

Obviously check the ID & OD of the stock pipework and find the right diameter there to suit.

sorry al, missed that part in first post.

to be honest mate i would have thought ten metres would be about right (as al mentioned). they're pretty long and there's a load of 'em. :)
