Caution: Never replace air conditioning hoses yourself.
General information
1. Rubber hoses fail over time. Check periodically.
2. The cooling system hoses are separated in section 13.
3. Check the fastening of the hoses, if necessary, eliminate harmful contacts.
Vacuum hoses
4. Generally, all vacuum hoses are color coded. Hoses of different systems have different thicknesses and rubber compositions depending on the working conditions: keep this in mind when replacing hoses.
5. When replacing more than one hose at the same time, mark the connection points.
6. Inspect the plastic fittings for the hose installation: their breakage or cracking could be the cause of the vacuum leak.
Fuel hoses
Attention: When working on the fuel system, observe fire safety measures.
7. Typically, cracking of fuel hoses occurs at their attachment points.
8. Replace hoses only with similar ones. Replacement with transparent hoses is not allowed.
9. Replace spring clamps if they lose their elasticity.
When replacing metal tubing, use only seamless steel tubing.
