my Vacuum lines are so brittle i have manged to bust all of them except the big one to the EGR valve.....

any thoughts on where to get new ones???

i have a GM parts book and it looks like there listed and sold as one piece, meaning all the lines in one "kit"

any thoughts???

this is the only thing holding up my project so im anxous to get some replacements

thanks guys

I've honestly never seen a set of the hard lines that was damaged or cracked like that.. I'd go to a junkyard and grab a few.

Then again, the turbo has 4 lines, the N/A has 3...

For what it's worth, I remember someone on the W' board paying around $20-30 for the NA set, so I suppose our "kit" would run about the same price.  I'll probably end up just replacing mine with black silicone vacuum line when the time comes(that's what I did with my NA 1993 and the lines are still like-new after almost three years).

I paid about $15-$20 wholesale for the AWDs' lines.  Are they still available for the TGPs?  I thought my parts guy said he couldn't get them anymore when I tried to buy them last summer.

It can be a tough time for any dealer to find the parts and the part numbers for any unique car/TGP/TSTE too, found this out when I spent 3 months going over all the key parts and specific key parts for our cars to make up my inventory. So to save the hassle  8) part number 10114903 is our TB Vacuum Line Assembly Complete, and is still available from the dealer or where ever, and when they are gone, I got 25 in reserve :lol: People won't thank me yet for having all these but some day :)

Also I have found repeatedly no need yet/in 3 years though some day!!...that the new lines fit so damn snug you don't need a clip to hold them in 8)   A trick is to use some radiator fluid to lube them so they seat fully, just don't boost until the heatsoak dries up the radiator fluid which it will at which time, you will be fit to go with the boost!  Someday, 4 to 5 years or more the lines might shrink enough to need the plastic clip or whatever means you have come up with to keep them from popping off.  And to let you know, the company that made these clips threw away the mold before I got a hold of them :evil:  so any found in a junk yard can go for good change on eBay!!!

Does anyone have a picture of this clip?  I'd like to try to fabricate something that would work.  Right now I just have some tie straps holding them in and it looks horrible.

"Looks" even better on your car :lol:   Yes that is the correct one!  If no one has it you are welcome to one!  

Showoff, I only have one car with the clip, people seem to more so loose these than break(?) them, either way good to have them, better to find more and sell them 8)

Looks like CuttySupreme will like having his HVAC and Cruise back when he gets his vacuum assembly 8)
