Keyo 47 Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Im going through all my hoses as I'm running 2000 boost on MFA and want to get her upto 2200 - charger is ported . I began inspecting all hoses and have ordered some new vag boost hoses at a horrid price from Classics/ heritage. I got to the isv hose and noticed some damage- sometimes you real need to fold bend a hose to find it. The isv hose 037133394f has been obsolete for years - only other option I could see was a gash silicon one from USA with sign writing on it- would of been best part of £80 by the time it got here with postage and tax etc. So I began googling VW isv hose - breather hose on ebay and saw this and for a tenner gave it a punt. 030103493BB Mk3- polo breather hose. Delighted only a tenner and ready available ebay- just a small chop to the end and perfect . Always nice when you can achieve a oe look for cheap and the original part is obsolete. I might try more of this now on other obsolete parts. Over the moon to solve a problem for cheap lol. Edited April 20, 2022 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OE still available to pretty cheap. https://www.lllparts.co.uk/en/product/seat-030103493bb-vent-hose/mpn/030103493bb Edited April 20, 2022 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted April 20, 2022 Nice find chap. I'm sure with hoses, there are a few throughout the VAG market that would be suitable for different purposes - it's just ensuring the inner diameter is the same. There are some odd ones though! I've a few VR6 old spares coming up for sale in the next couple of days if you need any. 👍 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe it’s stage 4 and had charger serviced etc belts . Edited April 21, 2022 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
