Title: Vacuum Hoses?
Post by: Germfan on February 04, 2010, 05:58:40 PM

Would anybody know who sells a Vacuum line kit for the m42 engine?
or who is familiar enough with the parts to have a complete list with numbers.
Thanks in advance.
Tim

If there is one, I haven't seen it.  I'm planning on the hose delete mod, that simplifies the picture...

A kit? there are only 3 vacuum hoses on the entire engine, one to the fpr which you cant see, one to the brake booster, and one to the charcoal canister, you are better off just buying some vacuum hose from the autoparts store. Or you can go to the dealer and order them, but if you need part numbers check out realoem.com (http://realoem.com)
