Bean 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Hello everyone I have found a small leak in the vacuum hose just above the ISV. Well it isn't the hose it is the big pod type thing that the other hosees go into. What is the best way to go about fixing this Or is it a case of it is knackered and i new to buy a new one?? Also what does the vacuum hose do?? :oops: Cheers BTW i just got my head done on my vr: had it skimmed valves done for 200quid!!! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 24, 2004 It's knackered. Replace with a new one if you're sure it's leaking, and not just making it's normal hissing noise. £200 for VR head build is good going! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bean 0 Posted April 24, 2004 why does it hiss unless there is a leak? Can i test it buy spraying it with carb cleaner? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 24, 2004 They do make a hissing noise, it's just thin plastic which doesn't do a very good job of damping the noise, which is it's primary function! It's got a foam mesh inside it. You can have mine soon as you lose that when you fit a Prick manifold. Yeah spray carb cleaner on it and listen for a change in engine note.
