Vac advance elbow

Post by Mrbenn »

Seem to have been hit by the cheap crappy parts lottery. The Vac advance pipe has only been on the car since last summer but the elbow on the dizzy end is cracking and splitting.
Has anyone seen any decent ones for sale or are they all going to be like this? I did wonder if replacing it with a silicone hose would work but on some research it would slow the response down.

I had the same issue.

I just went to Halfords and got a rubber vac hose & went straight from dizzy to manifold.

Problem solved.

Bought a silicone hose off Amazon. It works perfectly :)
