Ok so i removed and cleaned my ICV and when i put it back on i noticed that a lot of my vacuum lines had some serious wear. i went to my local advanced auto and got replacement hoses, the new ones are like a hard plastic almost, they didnt have any kind of braided hoses. so when i go to put the new hoses in place i cant really bend them enough to do what they need to. has anyone had this problem, where can i get braided hoses, or hoses that are softer than the ones i have now?? it doesnt seem like it should be so tough.

 

VW/Audi dealer. Its one of those parts that are so cheap i wouldnt mind spending the $ at the dealer for.

 

so its that thin plastic stuff?? you need to put elbows on the end

I'm with onepoint 8tee on this, go to the dealer.

 

Dealer it is...

 

You can use the pepboys rubber hose - I have used it for years. The dealer braided hose is no different - its just rubber hose under braided fabric.

 

yeah, i hit autozone, WAY cheaper for the same hose.... minus the fun cloth cover.

 

yea you should be able to get soft hose anywhere man

there should be some silicone stuff at local auto places, i used it, looks good and bends easy
