Default actuator hose

hi peeps has anyone got the small pipe thats connected to the actuator on the turbo. its a small black pipe id say about 8mm thick and say 50mm long mine seems to be split where it pushes onto the actuator. its a 97 uk classic so i assume its a td04 turbo.i will pay postage if anyone has one or two kicking about cheers Roger. ps. it doesnt seem to have affected my car yet.

can this hose be bought from halfords etc. and does anyone know what size. also what would happen if it splits completely

Can you not nip the end off and re-attatch??

Second option is to buy some silicone hose from samco or simular!

If that hose fails then the car could effectivly boost to destuction, beware!!

Think you will have a 2 port solenoid and the brass restrictor goes in the pipe between the turbo and the t piece.
