Was about to change my Aux Air Device as i thought it was leaking, removed the first hose that goes from the back of the inlet manifold to the AAD and found the manifold end rubber insert has split badly (must of been where i could here the air being sucked in).



Does anyone know where i can get either the insert or the hose assy?
Ford said no longer available

Thanks!

 

After looking closer i think the flared end of the hose has been cut off and the hose forced on which is why the insert has split, so i'll need a whole new hose plus insert!

 

Did you give them a part number as i know my local ford dealer lovers to tell me they no longer do parts if i dont have a part number when asking

 

yeah i looked on the computer with him and found it, he is actually a very helpful guy!

 

Nothing like my local one then

Id say your best bet is the parts section

 

karlos i have one if i dont need it for my efi conversion if u need it...how much would u like to pay includin postge

 

I have 4 or 5 inlet manifolds sweating away in my garage. If you dont get sorted let me know and ill dig 1 out!!

 

No EFI doesnt use it.
PM'd

Oh thanks mate hopefully SmartDJ will sort me out, but i'll PM you if not.

 

ill pull it off right now and check it for u

 

Spot on!!

 

the rubber bits are mint

 

Pretty sure ive got some somewhere but dont quote me on it!

 

make something up from silicone piping, these 20 year old pipes stuggle to seal properly, and always whistle.

 

Thats actually a really good idea! Dont know why i didnt think of it?!
Only problem with that is that it's one size on one end (say 16mm) and a different size on the other (say 12mm), bit too much of a stretch i would of thought? But i can try!

 

Just meassured and the small end is about 12-13mm and the larger end is about 14-15mm so have ordered some 12mm ID hose and hopefully it will squeeze over!

 

best doin what rick says

smartdj,im disgusted even askin how much he is willin to pay,its a bit of plastic hose,not an engine,its a ford community and if i had it id be asking for his address and nuffin more and poppin it in the post,jeez,and sayin the rubbers mint make me chuckle,least uve got a sense of humour

 

get fucked i would have sent it for the postage...and the rubber are mint there no tears on them

 

I doubt you'll stretch it over - get a reducer, u can get reducing elbows which would work well.

 

I dont mind giving someone a few quid for the time and trouble.

Ok Rick, cheers mate.

 

this quote says otherwise "..how much would u like to pay includin postge "

 

i didnt see you ofering to go out in the rain a start pulling bits off your car for somone in need..

 

no longer have an rs turbo mate,youll see sense one day aswell
as said if i had it lying about the house id have no second thoughts of posting it in a ajiffy bag and sending f.o.c,as i have done in the past with several people on here,hoses,clips,interior trim even a turbo to manifold gasket i hadnt used which was new,so dont talk about me unless u know me mate,i have spent numerous rainy days stnding outside in the rain looking at rs turbo's,not just friends cars but acuinteneces i met thru just havin rs's and didnt ask for a penny,done it thru luv of rs turbos's and the fact im a good guy lol,i merely highlighted ur quote of asking what he was willin to pay PLUS postage,which in fairness was polite offer but seemed like u were auctionin to him

 

i dont care what happens to the prt if he dosnt want it ,it will go in the bin i havent got the cash to be sending out free parts im trying to sourse money for my efi conversion and my list keeps geting bigger and bigger...if he wants to give me 50p or a fiver im not botherd..

 

ok
