I had the check engine light come on today, got the bonnet up and noticed a vacuum hose has snapped.

I patched it up using electrical tape and the light disappeared, i looked at just joining the old hose to a new one but the old hose is very dry and just crumbles when i try and put a joiner in.

Does anybody know the part number or name of the hose pictured below, its the middle hose that runs into the manifold.

Cheers.

 

all you need is some silicone vac hose to replace that, should get some anywhere couple of quid per metre simple

 

any idea what size?

 

it looks to be either 4mm or 3.5mm, but its hard to measure accurately... how can i tell properly?
