Where to buy a diesel braided vacuum pipe?

[jed the spread]

Mine was shagged so had a go at replacing it with something else but its gone flat. Just wondered if any of you guys knew where to get one?

I don't...however visit your local scrapyard and get a few hard plastic ones off just about every vw ever made...and the rubber joiners...and construct something using the bends and straights...works just grand!

this is the thread i was talking to you about when you mentioned the silicone hose you were using

They dont have scrap yards down here like you have up there, everything is stripped and on a shelf and not really interested in selling you a peace of hose. Was after something new I could just buy and fit really.

Well you will go to that London...northern yards are better...but Cumbrian yards have chickens running free range! Mind the eggs now!

Maybe go a truck place...not a cafe...but hydrair or similar and get some 1/2" servo vac hose...might be a bit more rigid but should be usable.

Or expensive wire helix silicone stuff.

Mmmm...

I looked on his web shop before and he did the short bits for 2wd but they are out of stock anyway. I am guessing he might have thought of this as an option if it fitted but you never know.

G & GW Bridges breakers at Pease Pottage (end of the M23) still has yards you can walk around and pillage from but the older scrap section is only open at weekends I think, worth a phone call and as lloydy said if you can make it up with genuine VW parts probably worth a trip.

Just measure the required ID, and have a google for silicone vacuum hose by the length. Umpteen suppliers, from eBay chav tat floggers to kit car builders to whatever. It needs to be specific vac hose, else it'll collapse under the suck.
