Need a few bits, advice sought please

[V70 Graham]

Well as you all know my mechanical knowledge is er..... not my greatest quality, I'm going to be replacing the vacuum lines (with M-R-P's help, he doesn't know it yet though) and I'm just wondering if this is a suitable line to use.....

Martin did say I'd need about 4m.....sound about right ?

As for clips how about these.....

Would 10 be enough, I guess 8-10mm would be fine for 9mm OD hose.

As the car is now 15 years old I may well be changing the TCV as well, stick with the Volvo one or is there any benefit in fitting the uprated IPD one ?

[M-R-P]

You really thought I'd believe you were gonna change your own vac hoses? Jog on sausage-fingers ;)

The IPD tcv might make the car more aggressive, not sure you want that while running the 310.

Sausage-fingers.....look who's talking......anyway would that hose/clip combo be ok was my question lol

[M-R-P]

overkill but yes they'll be fine.

Just remember, Martins favourite place to change vac hoses is the Vine car park.;)

4 mm will be ok, as for clips I`ve not bothered :)

[V70 Graham]

Tried to call FRF Swansea to see if I can get 4m of Volvo vacuum line with no joy, cant get a price on a TCV either, apparently TCV in English translates to PCV in Welsh :bitehard3

[V70 Graham]

Or there is this silicone vac hose

Will it stay on itself Rob ? If not what should I be looking at to secure it ?

What you need to hold the hose on is the spit of a fly :)

Mine are such a tight fit on the fittings :)

I have a feeling Graham likes the idea of all those shiny silver miniature mikalor clamps, all pointing the same way just the ones on his RIP kit.

turning into a right bonnet - magpie is our Graham.

Just don't want them coming off mate, think the silicone ones should do the job.....and stay on by themselves.

[M-R-P]

all my silicone hoses that take pressure have clips.

fit the bling, you know you want to lol

Vacuum hose from Volvo for the turbo is £9 per metre and you need one metre

TCV was £51 6months ago at Volvo

[M-R-P]

compressor to tcv - 400mm
tcv to inlet pipe - 350 mm
tcv to actuator - 400 mm
inlet manifold to recirc 900mm

and some spare.

1M just won't be quite enough ;)

[graemewelch]

Or as the wife would say.....'To be sure to be sure'

[M-R-P]

Volvo fit clips to the pressurized pipes when they build the engine and you're now running more boost so logically, securing those pipes with something would be a good idea.
