Can you change the N75 valve hoses for samco or equivalent? if you can what size would i need, anyone help with this
Cheers Neil :D
neil you need 8mm internal dia for the N75 valve (i think!)
get it from demontweeks online.
while your at it, get the vacuum tubing from the other valves replaced too, i think its 3mm and 6mm you need.
Mine are starting to split so need to order some samco to replace crappy stuff!

I've changed out all my vacuum/every other hose i could get my hands on, still to do the coolant and IC hoses tho, although i'm waiting for the new IC before i do those.
Is there anyone that does coloured replacement coolant hose?
im sure there probably are other companies that do them, but samco are excellent quality and things like coolant hoses is an area where you dont really want to "experiment" with unknown quality! lol
What sizes did you get for the vacuum hoses, for the n75, and the other ones like the bits that sit on top of the coilpacks etc?

i think all the dv related stuff was 3mm, the n75 was 5mm and 3mm for the rest but i've removed the N249 so there aren't too many there any more.
Also replaced some other random hoses.
So samco do coolant hose kit?

Cheers Mark, ive started to do the vacum hoses which i got from demon tweeks used 4mm i think looks much better now i want to do the N75 valve hoses are there any others that can be done with either silicone hoses and braided hoses?

ah yes thats it n249, im tempted to take mine out aswell, had any probs with it at all?
I went to the shop to get my vaccum hoses ordered, and he looked back and what i orig asked for (about 2months ago now! lol) was 3mm 5mm and 8mm, so thats what is needed (i looked into it properly at the time)
Think he said it was about £7 per meter.
I think samco do coolant hoses, there isnt much they dont do!
