Question for the 3.2 owners here........
So, a bit brittle these vacuum hoses aren't they? and one of them has only just gone and snapped right as i was just looking at it (the one leading from the RHS head to the back of the engine).
At the moment I've done a lame repair based on a bit of gaffer tape, but it just keeps falling off, and it is a bit of a bodge to say the least.
Now I've got a replacement hose set along with the vacuum valve that they join onto -not cheap - but hesitating as it looks like it could be a PITA to do (reckon the throttle body has to come off).
Anyone else done this ???
EDIT- Pic here its the hose just visible to the right of the black plastic cover that sits atop the throttle body, and hose leads from engine cam cover to back of engine where it meets other hoses in union before joining the engine block.
