Thread: Looking for evaporator tubing ends at TB

I'm in the middle of doing a LIM gasket replacement. As part of that job, I had to remove the evaporator solenoid and tubing that runs across the front top of the engine.

There's a rubber piece that two of the rigid plastic tubes go into, and in turn goes to a single nipple on the throttle body. That rubber piece is cracked, and I'm hoping someone has a part number for it. thanks.

just replace with rubber vac hose. the dealer is going to charge you an arm and a leg. i changed mine when i went with the N* TB

Evidently your friendly local auto parts stores don't carry much vac stuff anymore. You can get packets of multiple size parts, but you cant buy individual pieces. Plus, they carry only three sizes of vacuum hose. And they didn't carry reducers. By the time I had bought the various pieces needed, I would have spent over $10. But I couldn't buy what I needed. I was pretty disgusted.

So I went to the dealer and bought the whole hose assembly. $20. Oh well, at least it looks original!
