In the ever long strugle to find my vacuum leak I replaced that nasty F pipe that runs under the manifold. Actaully it wasent nearly as hard as I expected it to be, but sure enough there was a crack in it.

So its replaced, with little difference. I noticed that the "U" shaped rubber hose at attaches to the end of the F pipe and loops around to the tube that runs up the passanger side of the engine bay was repaired with duct tape (sigh) and has several slits in it. Its only about a foot long as most.

DOes anyone know the audi part number for that or at least was the I.D of the tube is so I can order some silicone replacements online.


I have replaced the braided hoses in the front and the F pipe.. any other common places to look. the "cluster f**k" of tubes onto the of the engine under the plastic cover seem to be in excellent shape.

 

engine code would help greatly. Also ecstuning.com carries most of the stock replacement parts for the breather system

 

no engine code...

 

Actually I decided to break out the vagcom one last time. Looks like since I change the F pipe its finally started to throw a code :

1 Fault Found:
17545 - Fuel Trim: Bank 1 (Add): System too Rich
P1137 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

 

I don't think he's talking about cels, but instead this:


Look on the pass. side of your engine.

 

we need the engine code (atc, bea, amu, awp...) to know what you are looking for. Please see the FAQ
