Vacuum Hose search ?

Featured Replies

Just for general purposes I am going to replace all the intake vacuum lines on my 2.5. It is a little confusing trying determine the amount and what to order from those online. Any pointers as where and what to search for?

Thanks!

Vacuum hoses are inexpensive. I doubt that you will find a kit for sale made up for a specific Subaru motor.

 

When I need to replace vac hoses, and it has been on just a onesey or twosey basis, I have just taken the bad hoses to my local Autozone store, and had the counter guy match it with one of the various size of hoses they sell from hose wound up on bulk individual reels.

 

Last episode, the counter guy found the right size hose, matched up the length, and cut a section off for me. Nice thing...... he said "no charge," and sent me on my way. Now that is good store PR.

I order bulk (by the foot) silicone hose from McMaster-Carr in various diameters to have on hand. It's a lot cheaper than ebay or the silicone hose/coupling web sites.

Most Subaru hoses are about 1/8" I.D. I usually buy about 4 - 6 feet at a time and can plumb an entire engine and have leftovers for the next one. Have done that 4 or 5 times now.
