SPIKEYJIMBO Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 All,I have some tired looking hoses on the gal tdi so looking to slowly replace them, question is when changing hoses into say the fuel filter or other main components is it just a simple pull hose off and replace with a new one or is there a specific practice that needs to be followed.. Going to replace the vac and turbo hoses as I think there probably knackered by now and had an underboost issue not so long ago, but after googling and searching the net I am having issues finding replacements and I dont want to get them from the stealer unless its absolutely last resort Galaxy is a mk2 115 auy Can anyone help on thisMany thanks :lol: Quote
chrispb123456 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Hi JimAll the small vacuum hoses are just cut to fit from a length of pipe, remove them one at a time as you wont want to mix them up, although I did put a diagram of pipe layout on hereThe intercooler pipes and fuel pipes are shaped so will be main dealer, probably VW cheaper.

SPIKEYJIMBO Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Posted March 27, 2011 Hi chris, when you say cut from a length of pipe is it any specific type I need? And as for fuel lines get the re inforced stuff?... I have your diagram in my inbox but not very technical minded will have another study of it Quote
chrispb123456 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 Hi JimMost motor factors sell pipe/tubing on a roll, obviously vacuum pipe needs to be the same size and density so it doesn't collapse.Fuel pipe is also available on the roll, you may have to extend the length of the pipes to avoid kinking, or get the correct ones from dealer.

SPIKEYJIMBO Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Posted March 27, 2011 Kitty I do indeed..again im not sure how to directly link you there but go to the search bar and type in smokey tdi, on page 2 half way down there is a pic that was posted to me by chris. :) Quote

SPIKEYJIMBO Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Posted March 27, 2011 Unfortunately not 3 out of 3 :) I dont remember coming accross a picture of that and I honestly couldnt advise you on your problem as my technical knowledge isnt great, However there are some really clued up people on this forum that are willing to help and share knowledge. im sure some one will advise you soon. Glad to have helped and good luck. Quote

Assuming engines turning over but not firing? Quote

Just wanted to make sure everything was connected. Quote
