actuator to mbc hose cracking

[p0xy]

my hose from the manual boost control valve to the actuator is starting to crack and was wondering what the cheapest and best silicone hose is off ebay to use? theres that many different ones...


cheers

Use petrol pipe, its cheaper and stronger due to being braided inside.

thats what was on mate, think i did it last year but it cracked

[Volvostorm]

Odd, never had that problem with mine, unless yours is routed near a heat source, a new piece of petrol pipe will be better that silicon, which either balloon or colapse under pressure.

nope it aint near anything hot mate.. will get some petrol pipe tomorrow and give it a try.... is it 5mm do you know?

[Volvostorm]

Off the top of my head, I can't remember! I thought it was 6mm, I'm sure somebody will know
