4mm

 

[cuprakris]

and that should do most all of it yeah, how much would you say i need.

 

[LEE69]

No idea sorry, best to either wait for more replies, or roughly measure the ones you want to change.

Yeah 4mm!

 

[paul-murphys]

have you used 4mm for your gauge cupra r lad?

I think the wisdom states that you don't go over 4mm, you can use 3mm and it works just as well if not better as there is less volume to create the vacuum in. 3mm vacuum hose is cheaper too, its £2.45 a metre from Elkparts:

Yep 4mm,bout you could use 3mm as it would be a tighter fit!
