The four hose pieces which connect the air intake distributor to the manifold pipes - I purchased under part VWC-039-133-241 as advertised in Cal Imports. GoWest’s site says these are not the correct parts. The hose has arrived fits very snug on the air distribution side - but without really trying to jam them on they do not seem to fit on the pipe end side. These hoses are from Germany. Can I heat the one end in hot water to make it temporarily more pliable - or are these just the wrong part altogether? If they do fit on as intended what is the opinion on having additional hose clamps? Thanks, Bruce 86 Westy Syncro (2.1 Digifant) |
