Where does that damn hose run to after it goes behind the brake booster? The line broke the other day and the heater has been diverting back to defrosters when I accelerate and when I go up hills.

Ok, thanks guys! Will it hurt if I replace it with a bigger diameter hose?Originally posted by gadget73 View PostComment

how? and why? you need the right size hose or it wont even go on..Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.Comment

Bigger diameter hose will be fine, as long as it fits snug over the nipples. Anything is better than that plastic crap, cept for silicone vacuum hose, stay away from that crap lolComment

That plastic shit pisses me off. I think if someone looked at it, it would break. I'll be sure to get some vacuum line and make a new feed for it.Originally posted by Grandpaslincoln View PostComment

just go to any parts store and request whatever length of the same inner diameter hose.... you can get thicker heavier hose but its the same inner diameter to fit over the nipple.Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day.

Don't get junkyard shit. Chances are all that stuff will be in the same or close to the same condition as yours. A parts store should sell the hose in several different diameters. I know mine does.Originally posted by 86VickyLX View PostComment

+100. Your corner hardware store is also a perfectly good source for a variety of cut-to-purchase rubber tubing.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

I bought like 15 feet of suitable size rubber line and replaced all the cracked plastic lines on my car. No more problems with leaks or breakage issues. It doesnt have the cool color codes, but the important part is that it works.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
