Wanted - Air Hose
16. Sep 2009 at 22:16

Ok I will try and describe this as good as I can.

Im after a replacment air hose that comes out of the black plastic section next to the radiator. It is mounted right in front of the air hose that comes from the ICV.

Its the one that bends straight away and dispears down the back of the radiator. Mine has gone really soft and now has a large split in the hose on the bend and is covered in electrical tape for the time being. Needed quite urgent as go to Scotland in just over a week.

Sep 2009 at 22:57 Brake pipe would be no good, and neither is the standard pipe you can pick up from the local car spares due to it having a 90 deg bend in it. Id rather replace it like for like. Someone on here will have one its just a case of waiting until the right people are on

Hi, I had this pipe go all soggy on mine, its a secondary air hose and the part # is 93170033, only cost me about £7 from a VX dealer and is # 5 in the picture below

If it were me I'd blank off the pipes from each exhaust manifold and ditch the whole system. Kevin

, allowing hot exhaust gases up into the hose.

As Kevin says it probably is the non-return valve as this was replaced on mine when i was doing the cambelt change and tested it as Mark does on the DVD and found it was u/s so got one off of here but damage to the pipe was already done Sad

.

Don't bother getting one from VXs as they are over £100 just for the valve so a decent s/h one is the best and cheapest route, 2.0L are the same so should be easily available on here Thumbs Up!

No not the EGR valve the Secondary air system non-return valve which is attached to the shiny pipe that runs along the front of the cable tray behind the bagpipes, # 14 in picture below Thumbs Up!

.

You should be able to blow into it but not suck, if you can suck then its nackered Sad

Ok, I know what you mean. Does anyone have one available?????

I also need to get hold of some of the rubber mounts that secure various items securly (items 16/17 plus others) hopefully will be able to stop things moving about then.

Also need a couple of the black blanks that cover the holes on top of the plenum. It annoys me everytime I lift the bonnet and see two missing Roll Eyes
