I can't seem to find 1.7L intake manifold hoses - when I check fitment for my 1973 1.7L the suppliers give me the red light.
Any links/suggestions? I read an old Pelican posting where Dave said that people had resorted to using clamps on the old hoses (despite potential expansion issues). |

You can use the 2.0 hoses, but you'll need to add hose clamps on both ends of each hose. That's what I had to do on my previous car (a 1.7), and I never had any problems with the hoses or the clamps. |

Thanks, Bill. Is that because the 1.8/2.0 hoses (and runners) are a larger diameter? |

I bought of a foot of this and used it.
https://www.mcmaster.com/5285K137/ At first I sourced a generic braided hose that mimics the factory boots but it was steel reinforced and quite stiff so I didn’t bother using it. I believe I still have it if you want to give it a try. |

Thank you, Doug.
Did you have to use clamps? Does it seal well? |

I bought a set of 1.7 hoses from Parts Heaven before they closed and i still used clamps on them. The 1.7 and 1.8 runners are the same as far as i understand.

A car I'm working on has them in silicone. Likely find similar on ebay/china with the right ID or a VW site.

I think that he is talking about the 4 short braided hoses from the plenum to the intake runners

I just finished the "kit" for my 72 that also includes the hoses in the front for expansion tank and side in the rockers. Do you need a complete kit or only from the plastic hoses in? Drop me a PM with your number I'll get you hooked up. (It's not even listed yet).

I forgot to get the second oil cooler seal and 914 Rubber threw it in along with giving me the sale price on the hoses above - even though my slow typing pushed me 3 minutes past midnight into early Monday- thank you, Mark, Kenzie and Team 914 Rubber - you are appreciated! Merry Christmas and good luck on the flight schedule, Mark! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wreath.gif) p.s. - can't wait to see that vacuum hose kit with the precise bagging and chart . . .sooo helpful! |
