w211 e63 / Intake manifold vacuum hose with Check valve "HOW TO REPLACE???" /
Subscribe
Hi guys ~
Just wondering if anyone of the forum has perfomed this DIY.
My car is a w211 -e63 and in need of replacing intake manifold vacuum hose
with "Blue" check valve .
My friend who is a German auto mechanic told me , during removing the
hose that is one connected from the engine side is held by three plastic
clamps. He told me if not causious plastic clamp can pushed into the
intake and worst senario it can even go all the way to cylinder.
Which seems like a hell for $12 hose replace DIY .
Would like some advice inperforming this replace. Any one who knows
some tips I'll be appreciated.
So far I was told by mech frined, the easiest way is to slie up the hose
so I can peel them off. But I just have no idea how the plastic clamp
looks like so I'm stuck . I also ended up snapping one of the outlet
on the change over valve. Damn it !!!! Costed me additional $40.
Word of advice !! Alway use a sharp knife to slice up the hose !!! Dont try
to yank it ! Otherwise I garentee you'll break the plastic parts!!!
