Vacuum Hose running from Intake Manifold to ICV. I had to replace mine recently. it was like $4 at the stealer...

[Bill 84 318i]

It's not really used for vacuum purposes, is it? It's just used as the bypass so the ICV can control how much air goes through when the TB is closed.

[PanamaE30]

I see your point.. but the air has to know how to flow one way or another right? lower pressure on one end... vacuum.

I went to all the autoparts stores in town and none had that type of tubing or any tubing that would work. It's worth spending 3 extra bucks on OEM stuff.

That tube is of dual diameter. It starts at one size and ends up a different size. Sure you can go through the trouble of having a similar sized tube cut and stretched. Or you could just buy the damned OEM part, know that you have an original part that is known to work for 15+ years, and save time on fitment.

But that's just me.

The difference in 98 cents and $4 is huge to some people on this forum...
