DIY Vacuum Line Replacments
Anyone had any luck forming the small vacuum lines found under the plenum?

Re: DIY Vacuum Line Replacments
Is your old one toast?
Soaking rubber in Trans-X softens and swells it. I believe that stuff actually integrates into the molecular structure of rubber, because when the rubber dries off, it doesn't draw back up.

Re: DIY Vacuum Line Replacments
I'm refering to the formed hard plastic lines you see in this photo from Rob Loszewski Secondary Port Vacuum Diagnosis write up. In my case the small line running from the vacuum connection on the driver's side of the plenum to the check valve before the vacuum reservoir had become brittle and broke in the formed bend right before the plenum connection. I temporary patched it with a short section of rubber vacuum hose but it sure looks ugly now , like a mules asss sewed up with a grape vine. I hate to have to order a $$$$ vacuum line kit for just this one line.

Re: DIY Vacuum Line Replacments
Phil I'm not using mine and if I remember I replaced them about a year before my secondaries were removed. What do you think they are worth? Or any interest ?
