VAC Leak 1.8T BAM

[rudgey]

Hi all,

Did a boost /vac leak test on my tt 225 last night (i know it's not a leon) discovered I have a rather large leak in the vac side of things and need some advice on how best to put it right.

Here is where said leak is under the inlet manifold - not entirely sure what the hose is (brake vac line?). Can anyone tell me how to fix this - is the only way to replace the pipework (duh! hehe) or is there any mod I can do 'whilst I'm in there' which'll do away with said pipe?

Anyone know the parts numbers of anything I need or whether some silicone hose of ebay'll do?

Thanks!

Hi,
I have had the same problem with my MK1 leon, but my vacuum pipes split in half. I looked on the Internet about fixing this however most people bypassed the pipe work altogether. Silicone pipes will cost you a fair bit as well. I'd google about bypassing vacuum pipes, read into it, then decide if it's for you or not.

Hope this helps.

Stick a picture up on here and I will look on etka and see if I can find the part number for you.

Can you tell from these mate?

Thanks for the help guys!

It's the melted one in the second pic

Are they under the inlet manifold?

 

[rudgey]

Yes mate!

Here are the pictures from etka. See if you can work out what one you need. You will have to see if you can work out where the pipe starts that needs replacing and see if you can spot it on one of these diagrams. I was looking at the same pipes on my lcr and I worked out what I needed by printing off the pictures from etka and then looking at my car.

If you need a price let me know what number it is as my version gives a basic price but its not 100% up to date but it gives you an idea.

Hi all I was going to ask the same question I have the same problem on my leon . one thing is this the same on all engine types cause mine is an auq engine

 

[747_727]

I think some of the pipes are different.

 

[Shakey1985]

Ok does anybody know where I can get
A link for an auq engine model

Thank you 747_727! I ended up popping down midland Vw for them to id the part - they also ordered for me- fitted and woah this baby moves now! Noticed when I was putting it all back together that my suction jet pump had gone too again midland vw sorted me out and way hey! I now have a decent idle!!! Thanks for all the help!

Glad you got it all sorted. So you noticed your engine ran better did it have more power?
