Combating adversyty.
I just got almost all the bits and thought I would have a go at replacing some of the vacuum hoses with the new 3.5mm braided hose that I have bought.
No sooner than I removed the EGR vacuum hose, I dropped a damn adaptor and it fell into the depths of the engine. I think it is stuck under the plate behind the AC pump, under the cabling between the two heads, under the intercooler - nigh on impossible to reach without major ingenuity / engine dismantling.
Will it be a problem there?
Then I thought, screw it, I'll replace one of the hoses. As I was gingerly removing the hose from underneath the box with "Syclone" on it (a feed pointing straight down) the 90 degree bend fitting snapped due to perishing...
Not a problem think I with my new 3.5mm hose....but wait......
The bend then goes to a larger size which goes over the one way valve in the system! Dammit! 3.5mm is too small. What size is it?
Do I need to get lots of these 90 degree bends and if so where from?
I am bitterly disappointed as i thought i had done my homework.
All the gauges have arrived with the gauge pod though so that looks cool...
Hours of fun ahead (took me 2 hours trying to get the adaptor nozzle out)
Still love my Ty!
