adam1983 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'm looking into replacing all of the vacuum lines for the gte model and was wondering who has done this themselves and how easy/difficult it was to do. Can they all be accessed from the top? Any guides out there with pictures showing the different vacuum line positions? Best place to order from and what type is best to go for? Any help on this much appreciated. [emoji846] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 A job I have started. I went for Gates lines instead of silicone crap. The gates stuff having a thick side wall means it can be difficult to get some of them on, but take your time and its do-able. Some of the lines are not accesible without removing some bits, for example the two that run down the bulk head from the vac hard pipes to the rear of the turbos. They are nothing short of HELL to do The vast majority are easy though, I have just been doing mine one at a time and copying length etc meaning I knwo how it all goes back together. Also be careful of the ICV's lines as I snapped a ICV removing one as it had gone very brittle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
