Default Broken Vacuum Hose

I have a broken vacuum hose on my 98 Vanden Plas that runs from the driver side valve cover, under the fuel rail and into a "T" connection right near the throttle body. Do I need to remove the TB in order to get to that connection or does anyone have another suggestion?

No, you can get to it but its tight. Attach new one to old so you can pull it through.

Thank you. Already pulled the TB just so I can inspect the rest of the line and I am going to replace it all while i'm here. Any other hoses I should look for to replace while im in here?

All of the convoluted tubing hoses should be checked for cracks and leaks. I ended up replacing a bulk of mine with silicone hose.

When you remove them, fill with water and check for leaks its the easiest way.

Default What is the part number to the broken line

Mine broke too! Can you tell me the part number or name so I can get a new one?
