I had never really thought of that. Yeah, maybe it doesn't last much, but I'm sure it would last at least a couple years. It's so cheap that it might be worth trying.
Is that the correct size of the bigger hose? I've checked the faq for vacuum lines replacement and it doesn't mention that size. In fact it doesn't mention that tubing at all.

Seen several threads on here concerning poor idle/oil on engine/strong smell of oil etc etc all of which my 940 2.3 LPT has! The remedy seems to be replace oil filler cap oil seal (done) and clean out the oil breathers/replace flame trap. So my, I hope not too dumb, question is ............HOW??!

I'm fairly handy with the spanners, but this is a new one on me, and needless to say, Haynes is silent on this point......

Hints/Tips or a full "how to" guide all gratefully received!
Thanks
Graeme.

I'm guessing that the big hose ID is 5/8" or just under 16mm, and the vac hose is 4mm.

That mercedes one is 12mm and 6mm, no good.
