alright i know what to do to replace it, i got a forge 007 DV and all i need to do is replace the hoses like it looks like with the OEM one. whats the easiest way to do it? 01 A4 1.8T. from the hood or from under the car?

 

You only need to replace the hose clamps, not the actual hoses.

Easiest way is from below.

 

do it under the car while it is jacked up. all you have to do is remove the plastic cover in a couple screws. the DV is right in your face once the cover is off then its only about a ten minute install because you need to cut the hose clamp. I used a zip tie in place of the old hose clamp.

 

I went from under the car like explained above & used the screw type clamps that came with it. Since me vac line going to the dv was deterating i replaced it with some line i bought at the local parts store.

 

go from under the car. have fun with the one time use clams from hell

 

ok thanks for the help ill let you guys know how it goes. oh and one more question, which color spring should i use and with any spacers?
