• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Going to replace vacuum lines on 2010 RT and I have some questions...

1. I found that the recommended replacement is Napa part number H466 silicone hose. I assume that this will be the right diameter for my 2010.

2. See pic below: sorry it is so huge but I needed to see the details.

3. I read that all I need to do is cut the new hoses to the same length and replace them. Are there any retaining clips on the ends of the hoses?

I looked at TechSpark manual, BRP site, and searched the forum to get some help. This was the best I could find to help me. I am not an expert wrencher but I like to tackle some of the simpler maintenance jobs. Thanks for your tips.

No retaining clips on the hoses.

making the cut

when cutting the hose make the hoses the same length as the hose you are about too swap out , ( not cut the 2 new hoses same length 2 (6 inch hoses ) just to make clear what the term is " cut the hoses same length "

I don't have a clue either, so here I sit awaiting the wisdom of others.

Hoses

Good Morning. Well, you pull the left side upper panels off and look in towards the throttle body. The MAP sensor is the plastic sensor held on by the big silver screw. There's a hose on each side going to the front and rear throttle body. The hose connection on the throttle body end has a barb on it so the hose might be a little stubborn to remove. It should just slide off the sensor. Helps to have small hands to work off the front hose.

Spec length is 85mm long for both hoses. 3mm ID hose.

I have a 2011 RT. Can I get to the hoses by just removing that left upper panel and get my hands on them? There are two throttle bodies with one hose on each right? How long are they?
 
If I recall correctly they are 4" each. Just measure the old ones and make the new ones the same. The hose to the rear is easy to remove. The one to the front is a little more difficult.
