big ives Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) 300tdi engine with raised air intake Snorkel, the original hose which is about 2mtrs long has past it’s sell by date and needs to be replaced, it’s badly damaged. What’s the best 63mm flexible hose to use from the 300tdi turbo to the Snorkel? And who supplies this type of hose? Admin if this is not in the correct section please move as you wish Edited January 20, 2019 by big ives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big ives Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Ralph would this be acceptable to use? i had seen this before but was worried that it would not be strong enough to do what i needed? its certainly appears less expensive than other products i have looked at for example 63mm Wyrem Flexible hose...................cheers Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I haven't seen or handled that flexible ducting, it was mentioned in another post about heater ducts to the front screen demisters in the last week or 2, within the ebay info it says---- 1. Thermoplastic reinforced rubber. Steel spiral embedded between layers. 2. Suction hot and cold air and gases. Ideal for automotive induction, Heating air conditioning, Ventilation the steel spiral will stop it collapsing just as the genuine ducting has similar construction. found this as well --- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Neoprene-1-Ply-Flexible-Air-Ducting-Black-Induction-Hot-Cold-Feed-Brake-Ducts/192116941285?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20170920101022%26meid%3Da86ea0a03dce4818852765c82862c369%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D9%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D301742462766%26itm%3D192116941285&_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I used Wyrem flexible hose from Hyphose, very tough, has a wire spiral in it. Not super cheap but you can buy it by the metre. Failing that I thing Series 2/3 diesel intake elephants trunk is about the longest standard part and used to be about £12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big ives Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Gents thank you for the info Ralph, yes i read all the info and i too haven't actually touched or seen this hose and i am a bit reluctant to buy in case its not up to the job Fridgefreezer, yes i am leaning towards this Wyrem hose, but not made up my mind yet..............................again thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I've got some of the stuff from Ralphs first link and you will be fine, its pretty tough stuff! you're good to be cautious though, there is some really rubbish stuff out there, where the wire isn't fully captive on the inside, it de-bonds and then the whole things comes apart. - and checking the 2nd link that is the BAD stuff....
