930 Vacuum Hoses
Is there a list somewhere that keeps eluding me as to how much and what size of vacuum hoses I would need to replace most if not all of my vacuum hoses?
I realize that some cars may have had many things changed or swapped out over the years (mine included), but what would a safe list of lengths of various sized hoses would I typically need? My car is supposedly a Euro (ROW) 1983 911 Turbo. I still have the air pump (assuming that it is functional) and aspirator tubes. My distributor advance/retard canister has both pressure and vacuum hoses attached, so from my books, I wonder if it is really a ROW distributor. Should I be using the 3.5mm ID silicon vacuum hoses or not? I want to change out as many hoses as possible as I know most of them are very old and may be the source of many issues that I have been living with for far too long. I'm not sure if I will drop the engine for this at this time or not. I'm leaning toward not as there is that "While I'm in Here" deal that I would rather avoid, because P2O is rapidly approaching. Thanks for looking. What would you suggest? All opinions are welcome.

I would like to hear this also, never did change my vac hoses as I could not find a good source for them. Or the proper size.

I'll share what I found in my parts manual and what I ordered from our host if some kind souls want to share what they have tried. There were a few sizes not available from our host. |
