Diameter vacuum lines?

Postby HJ2 » Tue 03.04.2018, 10:35

Dear colleagues,

As there is more and more evidence of a vacuum leak, I prepare to replace all the vacuum lines with Samco ones.
As i need to order the lines (no shop around) I was wondering if anyone knows the internal diameter of the vacuum lines, and if they are all the same diameter?
(I'm not at the car currently)

I used 5mm to replace the line to the reservoir HJ: And it was as cheap as chips!

I've just placed an order too. A couple of my vacuum lines leading to a Denso component (I've no idea what it is) on the near side inner wing are pretty perished, and my idle is not stable. Hopefully, this will be an easy fix.

No. It is the thingy between the near side headlamp motor and the big air pipe leading air into the plenum.

I'm at it now, but hose 20 is NOT 5mm :(
Hose 2 fell right off the reservoir! :shock:
