hoobby Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) The hose from the intake to air valve has been shortened at some time in the past probably due to splitting at that air valve end but was pulling on the air intake join hence the splitting as far as I can see hasn't gone all the way through.what can I use to repair/strengthen the splitting.also is the hose to the air valve available or something that will fit?.

Danny D114BCW Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I would just buy a new one or ask on here for a good secondhand one. Not worth repairing as it would be hard to totally seal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Clean it, and use tiger seal, or granville pu flex its about 7quid, but it will work, make sure its clean and dry before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cam.in.head Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I have looked at a few of my spare hoses and they all seem to have the begginings of a split in that area.possibly a weak spot due to the push-in pipe bring a gight fit.the one on my car has the same issue. Was black siliconed 10 years ago and is still holding up well. As for the other hose its only a thinner walled vac hose(12mm ?) im sure someone on here will have one for you or just buy a length of correct bore hose from a factors and place an internal spring on the bend.or a trip to a scrappies should yeild something suitable ftom something ? Surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a standard rubber hose do what CamInHead has suggested and trawl the scrap yards till you find something suitable. I know my omega has a similar hose used on the cooling system.
