[V8] Breather Hoses

Tue Jan 18 15:30:29 EST 2005

There is a heater hose off an old Sirocco that fits the hose on the back
of the manifold pretty well.  Don't have the number, may be able to find
in archives.  Was about 6 bucks if I remember.

Actually, I believe the real piece is between $60 and $100. I went down
this
road about 4 months ago for the same hose. What a mess!  I ended up
taking
the fragments of the hose to NAPA and matched it up to one that was
pretty
close and used it. So far so good! I checked it last weekend and it was
still good too.

no clue.....  I used heater hose on mine... it was so bad the car barely
ran
and when i tried duct tape it to keep it together it just collapsed...

but i think the real piece is maybe $20 or so.. not too bad for a nice
form
fitted hose...  if that one is dead, you probably want to do all 3.
