Hey Guys...where do you buy the braided hoses to replace the worn out ones that are all over the place on the 914 1.8 engine? I tried a local auto parts place and all they had was rubber. Does it matter??
Thanks

Find a shop that specializes in VW Bugs (aircooled)...after that, mail order (Pelican Parts, GRP)
I just ordered a bunch of this http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?&DID=7&WebPage_ID=161 in red and yellow for my new motor.
I'll just dress the rubber up, add a little color matching heatshrink on the ends...
put a little color in yer life! (they have chrome too).
good times~

not even close to what he is asking about...that's "rice" covering you got hmmmm, that green looks like a good match to my car |
So when I open my engine lid and look at all the braided hoses that need to be replaced (Some corroded...some not yet)....you guys say get it from Pelican? That is a lot of hose! Someone's gotta have some alternatives?! (BY the way...the car currently runs...sometimes...)
Thanks,

Do it right or don't bother. It's not that much hose. I bought my various lengths from the VW FLAPS
Go here:

Look under the FUEL INJECTION section. There are hose diagrams and they contain the layout, diameter and lengths.

It sort of does matter, you need fuel injection hose, shich is more high pressure than regular fuel hose. Does not matter if it is braided cloth, but it must be high pressure hose. |
Wow...thanks Rand for that web address...now that is helpful! Thanks guys!
Northern Foreign Autoparts, Nashua, Exit 6/7
They have all of it in stock, its all metric.

I did the ghetto hose covering to a car when I was 19 or 20. I got tired of it after about 2 weeks.
I admit I have bastardized a few cars in my days.
