Whats in this hose ????

[D.K]

I'm want to change the small hose in the pic below but I want to now if it is a vacuum hose or if there is water in it, It treble for getting airlock's and dont want to risk it.
It's the hoses that sit's above the intercooler hose at the bottom of the pic.

Thanks

Vac hose i would have thought fella.
Its connected to the side of the intake manifold, so i would be surprised if theres water in there!

looks like a VAC hose to me, change for pure silicon

it goes into the break servo i belive.. thought about changing mine and gonna do it when i get some dollars.
you wont have a problem as long as its air tight

Anything connected to the inlet manifold is likely to be a vacuum hose. In this case I'm pretty sure it goes to the brake servo via a non-return valve. Trace it back, it should go down towards the brake master cylinder and terminate in a big round device between the master cylinder and the firewall

It a vacume that goes to the brake's and its easy to replace.

Just looks like an excuse for a chance to show off that polished charge pipe to me...

Hey, I'm currently changing all my pipes as well and also want to change the 180 degree hose above the intercooler hose. Would a normal silicone vacuum hose be enough or do you need to get a specific hose for this?

Also want to change the 25mm hose which links the charge pipe to the dump valve like you have but a lot of people say not to do it. Do forge make a hose this size to replace the standard hose?
