vacuum

Hi all, Have a problem at the moment, the central locking has packed up. I have worked out that the central locking is a vacuum system and I can actually hear a leak behind the door card when I lock and unlock. Can anyone shed any light on how to remove the drivers side door card? Cant...

Can anyone tell me what size vacuum hose i would need to order to replace all stock? I think its 3 mm and 6mm

Hello Folks Finally started to mod my car a bit got myself a pillar pod and autometer boost gauge, think a remap is next on the agenda but i was Just checking over my engine yesterday and i found some of the vacuum hoses had started to fray. Anyone any idea what sizes they are cause i was...

I am going to replace all my small vacuum hoses with silcone ones, what size is needed and what clips should I opt for?

I bought a metre of this and fitted some today but it feels crap compared to the forge or silconhose stuff...it seems too easy to squeese it together. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260130296489&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=016 I wouldn't advise getting any. Do...

My car has developed the fault below, its a 1.8t DBW AUM engine which is basically the same as the AUQ fitted to Leon Cupras. I'm looking for common areas which cause these problems, so I can focus on them. Obviously I'm going to have to strip bits off and do visual inspections, but any tips...

just wondering wot size vacumm hose do i need for the cupra? i brought 3mm diameter and its 2 small.

When my car is idling I get this funny low sounding popping noise... finally located it as the funny bottle thing on the bottom left hand side of the engine bay by the front bumper. It seems to be fed by two pipes and if you put your finger over the little hole at the bottom it sucks your...

I just checked my levels and noticed this: http://ibizagti.fotopic.net/p35731255.html So there's a missing pipe to somewhere and there's no pipe floating in the engine bay. The car's an MY97 ABF engined GTI. If anyone's got a clue where the pipes meant to lead to, I'd appreciate it very...

My LCR has developed what seems to be the common coilpack problem (badly missing - barely runs at idle or part throttle, eggy smell). I've got a couple of spares, but a quick glance shows there's a stack of vacuum pipes over the coilpack for cylinder 3 and 4. Are those easily moved out of the...

I have just bought some more vacuum hose to replace all the dodgy worn bits that are around my N75 Valve but am wondering what i can use to clamp it down? I know it may be ok not using anything but i cant risk losing boost again with all the issues i have had! I doubt cable ties will work as...

Namely - on a PD TDI, what generates the vacuum that all the valves (N18/N75/N239) rely on to operate ? Is it the tandem fuel pump ?

On the Passat, I can faintly hear what sounds like a air or vacuum leak. (It might be some sort of rattle, not completely sure). It's very consistent though. If I'm cruising with no or hardly any throttle, I can't hear anything untoward. But the slightest throttle application results in...

Have been noticing in the last couple of weeks that the boost guage has been showing a drop off in the vacuum pressure at idle. Used to sit at 20VAC quite happily. Its slowly moved from 20 to 19, then to 18, and this morning 17psi VAC. Between gear changes the gauge flicks back to 21psi...

What size would the replacement be for the vacuum hose connected to the dv? I'd like to replace the tatty oem one for a silicon equivalent. Thanks James
