Vacuum Line

[jhstatts]

How many feet of vacuum line do I need to replace all lines on my 60?

I know I need 3mm and 5.5mm inside diameter lines... but how much will cover it?

Thanks!

Good question...I found out the hard way...20 feet eventually did it for me with a little to spare. I used the silicone stuff...it's nice.

do you have a name or link for the silicone 3.5mm hose?

I have been using the OEM stuff but at $10 a meter......its gets spendy

I count 27', but I left my lines a bit longer for the next time a motor mount
goes, or whatever.
Bought a spool of NAPA 1/4' I.D. and a few feet of the 3/8". Then I used
zip ties and small hoseclamps on the ones that keep coming off.
Apparently VW aftermarket shops have metric line in many colors and less
spendy than Toyota.

I used silicone metric tubing from McMaster Carr. I think I used about 33 ft. Its got a nice thick wall that stands up to vacuum just fine.
