Hi im currently fitting a new exhaust to my van and having lots of fun doing it But am trying to find online the hoses that connect off the front pipe up to the air filter box as the originals are all ripped, any ideas thanks and the proper description cheers.

Hi mate,

I do believe in our climate they are unnecessary?

Do you mean the warm air hose ??

If so as Ermie says, its not really required here in the UK .... but its cheap enough to replace if you do want it .

I had them then took them off when I replaced a hose, still on a shelf in the garage with no repurcusions.

Their job is to feed warm air to the airbox in winter, preventing carb icing. That's most prevalent at or slightly above freezing, when the air's really moist. Sounds like prime UK winter conditions to me! But if your van is a summer weekend toy, rather than a daily workhorse...

I used my previous van all year round in Scotland with this pipework missing, didn't have any problems (well not related to this).

Thats the one thanks, the only cheap part and i dont need it ,thanks for your replies.
